I met with the educator yesterday as well. She had me put in a comfort set. I wore it for almost 24 hours. Almost. It was irritating the heck out of me. I kept bumping it on my seat belt or my pants waist. And it hurt everytime. Then it just started being a dull pain constantly, and I couldn't ignore it anymore. I yanked it. The cannula had blood in almost the whole thing, so I am thinking that may have been part of my problem? Or are sore sets just something to get used to? Educator assures me pumping will make it worth any pain.

My family is the other problem. They are not thrilled about this. My mom is especially bad, telling me, "I don't care about your glucose, or whatever!" Yesterday she was asking me questions about my pump, and I thought she was getting better, but no go. Today she was telling me how I should stop obsessing over my "new meter." She doesn't get it at all. I'm getting an expensive device that I imagine will change my life, and she is acting like it's amoxicillan.

Anyways, I'm just a little bummed, cause I was so excited yesterday, and no one around me cares.

The Comfort set is similar to the Silhouette, which I only managed to keep in for 3 hours. I can't wear any angled sets. Ask for more sample sets! Glad you are getting a pump. If your mom isn't interested, ignore her--you are doing the right thing for yourself.
