Congratulations on getting your new pump KritterMom. I have a Minimed 722 and I love it. The differences between the models are that the 522 holds 176 units while the 722 holds 300 units. The pump has a bolus wizard that allows you to enter the amount of carb you will be eating and the pump computes how many units you need. Carb counting is not essential I was on a pump for many years foolishly shooting from the hip and guesstimating. But recently especially with the bolus wizard feature I figured that I owe it to myself to know the carbs of my favorite foods and let the pump do the math for me. Good luck with Violet!
