Last week I was attending a 3 day Leadership Training course at a facility outside of Las Vegas. All 30 of the attendees were strangers to one another and all from different industries from all over the country! I was very nervous about how I was going to do after finding out so many of these people were owners, vice presidents, and upper management for their companies. I was not sure how I would hold up around all these professionals!
We got our room assignments and I knew we would be staying in small dorm rooms. They were more like hotel rooms with 2 bunk beds in them. I was lucky enough to get a bottom bunk so my night time visits to the rest room would not wake up my bunk partner as much as jumping down and climbing back up would have. (READ MORE)

I'm still at the point where I check myself out in the mirror (or storefront reflection) every chance I get just so I can see what I look like with my pump on. Yes, I'm in love.
I don't, though, feel this overwhelming sense of 'why didn't I do this sooner'. It could be that life on shots is still fresh in my mind. A year from now I may be saying something different, though. Don't get me wrong, I'm completely head over heals for Toohey and really don't want to go back to MDI. I guess what I'm saying is that I don't have a tremendous sense of relief.
I've had just one bad cannula, which resulted in a blood sugar of 508. I've since adjusted my insertion technique.
I've yet to meet a doorknob that reached out and grabbed my tubing or encounter pharmacy techs who question my need for so much insulin or so many test strips. (READ MORE)
There was the researching, and the chats with the doc,. There was the mental tug-o-war between my daily injection comfort zone and my need for more flexibility, and now, like the quickness of a self-inserting cannula, I am pumping insulin by way of the OmniPod. (READ MORE)
It's finally here: Jan. 1, 2008. There's really nothing all that significant about this day. I mean, it's the start of a new year and everything, but other than a day off from work there's nothing that special about today.
Except that today marks the first day of my new insurance coverage. Which means that as soon as I receive my new insurance card, I'll be calling insulin pump companies and fielding sales calls. (READ MORE)
Imagine my surprise and delight first-thing Wednesday morning when I saw an email from our human resources rep giving us a link to print out temporary insurance ID cards. Maybe I'll still wait a few days until I start in on the pump campaign, I thought to myself. Yeah, right. The world's most impatient person wait a few days? I don't think so.
So after registering online and signing in, I searched and searched and searched to no avail to find specific benefits information on the company's Web site regarding preferred diabetes supplies and/or insulin pumps. Nada. I didn't really want to bug the company on my second day of coverage about this major medical device, but damnit I'm impatient. (READ MORE)

Elizabeth commented on yesterday's Pump Nostalgia post, saying she has been type 1 for 38 years and has in the past resisted the idea of going on a pump. She wants to know what I find so thrilling about it.
For starters, and probably the biggest things for me, it's the precision and the convenience. As for precision there are a couple of aspects: I don't have to conform to a certain number of carbs to match my insulin:carb ratio. For example, like many people, I am more insulin resistant in the morning, so my insulin:carb ratio is lower. So if I'm having 45 carbs and my insulin:carb ratio is 1:12 and my sugar is within target, I can't take 3.75 units with an insulin pen. So I either have to decrease or increase the number of carbs or the amount of insulin and deal with the consequences later.

Jumping into the world of pumping is no simple task. And I don’t mean that it is hard to get an insulin pump. The hard part is picking through the available pump companies, deciding which one suits your lifestyle, and finding a way to pay for it. If you live in Duckburg and own a bank vault full of coins, you can pay the thousands of dollars for up-front costs and hundreds monthly for a pump. But for the rest of us, health insurance is the only avenue to an insulin pump.
