| Well, so far so good. The trainer was very helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly. I am using Cleo 6mm and I hope they work as the insertion process was super easy. Also, I like being able to orient the tubing 360 at the site. The cozmo with the meter attached and in use with the case provided is rather bulky, but that really isn't a big deal yet. I can always try different things.
I can't speak to control issues yet. I had good numbers with MDI, but really bad consistency. When graphed, my sugars looked like an EKG strip. Hopefully, the pump will keep me from the big jumps and dips I had on MDI. One stupid thing I did was after I picked up my vials and new test strips I somehow refrigerated my strips and put the Novolog in the cabinet....duh. My lunch time bolus did sting a tiny bit at first. My Lantus stung BAD almost every time so I can live with the minor burn I felt with my bolus.
This site has been great in helping me gather information. I'll post some more as time progresses. First impressions are positive so far. |
