My doctor approved me to get a pump a few weeks ago. I chose to go with Animas and have been waiting weeks since till I can get approval from my insurance. That seems to be the only thing they are…Continue

It's a pretty rough sketch and the tattoo artist is drawing up several ideas for me and tweaking it. I'm going next Monday to get it done and I'm…"

Dexcom
"have you used this? I just learned about it. Seriously considering getting the prescription for it. it sounds great. Any feedback would be helpful and most appreciated"
vani replied to SiggyB's discussion 'Question Regarding the "Ping" Pump and the Calorie King carb counting feature.' in the group Animas Insulin Pump Users"I thought I would use the calorie king in the meter-remote more than I actually do. I did go in and put other stuff in and delete things, but it's honestly just a lot of scrolling up and down to get to the things. I could probably add most of…"
vani replied to Amy's discussion 'too long to write in a comment' in the group Animas Insulin Pump Users"Woooohoooo Congratulations!!! I've been on insulin in mine for one week.. my numbers are not so great right now though.. they are all over the place! Keep us posted on how you're doing. I hope everything runs as smoothly as possible. =]"
John left a comment for vani"Thanks for the suggestion, maybe I should call them and see if I can get a dexcom test drive kit, obviously you got to try it out easily you're self. I'm also working on my insurance to get me one at some point, hopefully only a few more…"
vani left a comment for John"Maybe you could call up whoever did your training and ask them to use the Dexcom for a week? If not them then I'm sure perhaps maybe someone from Dexcom would let you.. I am really starting to like it a lot! I think I may look into the cost. :]"

Jax said… - I want to get a DM med alert tattoo. I haven't decided between the Caduceus and the Staff of Asclepius. I love medicine/healthcare so I was going to get something similar before my diagnosis so now I am just changing it a bit. I will post ideas once I figure out how to do that! haha I also really want the new international DM symbol, baby blue hollow circle on my wrist but I have to be able to cover it with a bracelet or watch so I am holding off on that now.

- I like your tattoo! I am working on the design for my second one! And location for that matter. Are you getting the ping? I just got one a few weeks ago and I love it.

Marie B said… - hi vani, welcome! if you click on "Forum" on the top banner you will find hundreds of discussions on pumps. I have the Accu-chek Spirit, not the most popular, but I appreciate that you get a backup pump for those rare times when there's a malfunction.
