| post gone wild :-) Thanks to all for responding, discussing different things, etc. Keep it coming. I have read the posts and am kind of on the fence now. I had left the Mini-Med rep a call and I think I'm going to try it out (at least a test version). The MDI method has been good to me overall, but after almost 19 years it's getting a bit tiring.
I can always go back to MDI, if I find it a complete hassle or want a break. I think the thing that is giving me some reservation is the CGM. I was really interested in that feature, but it seems like that might be the most expensive part of the whole system. If I don't have that, then I don't see it as much different than MDI. It's just a different delivery device. I rarely ever change my Lantus amount, so it's all about bolus for me.
That being said, someone asked about activities and damage to the pump/system. I agree that it's risky in high impact sports, but I would never go anywhere without a backup plan. I've eaten it on the bike and playing b-ball. I play inside, so there's a lot of pushing, elbows, grabbing, etc. Big concern, but putting it inside my shorts mike make that a non-issue.
This decision just doesn't get any easier. |
