I am so afraid of a day like this happening. I was thinking the other day that I would have an uphill struggle even remembering the whole process with straight-up shots, if my pump failed. :S

It is miserable, Manny... The docs office gives me a Lantus rate - but it never works properly - so I make up my own usually... And the remembering to inject before eating and the correcting without knowing what's on board... Oh, man. But it is what it is - and it should only be 24 hours - so I'm considering myself lucky.

Aw, crap. I hope it gets there soon. Mine broke a few weeks ago and it sucked being on lantus. :(

I am picturing the songs of the actual band called Failure being performed by a bunch of Cozmos...

I knew at least one person would get the Oi!, Hannah...

Cozmos performing - how about a band called Failing Cozmos?

Hello Nicole,

I am new to the site and I am currently doing my week of saline before going to insulin on the pump.

Do you know what failed? Did they give you an explanation? Has this happened to you before? I am wondering what the reliability is for the pump.

Thanks,
Jack
