Always something huh Jedi? I am glad you got your cholesterol down without medication. I wish I could do that. I can't seem to make a difference even with diet. I don't eat any fast food at all. I do have 1/2 and 1/2 in my coffee and I suppose I should give that up.

Have you thought about giving your stomach a break? Maybe use the back of your arms or backside? It is awkward, but I have done it. I can leave my sets in longer than recommended, so I don't think I have the healing issue at all. I did get in infection for the first time in three years on my last set. It has left a nasty bump and I guess I need to get more religious about set changes in three days.

I know I could not take a pump break. My blood sugar and A1C was terrible before pumping. I just couldn't get a good basal pattern down and Lantus was a pain.

Maybe it is time to call Cozmo and MiniMed and give them a try as well as the pod.

Good luck
