I'm sure there is some type of assistance available. I've seen some discussions here but nothing immediately comes to mind. I'll look around to see if I can find anything.

Say you'll share with
me one
love, one lifetime . . .
Lead me, save me
from my solitude . . .

Say you want me
with you ,
here beside you . . .
Anywhere you go
let me go to . . .
Christine,
that's all I ask of . . .
(you)

Welcome Catherine...

Sorry to hear that you are i such a difficult situation ... I really wish I could help you out with your sets. Unfortunately, I don't use those sets myself, but hopefully someone here will be able to send you a few to tie you over.

Hang in there

Hi Catherine!

Glad you're with us. There are many friendly people here who are willing to help. It was great to meet you at the support group meeting, and hopefully you'll be holding another one soon. Also, there are some great local groups such as NCIP (Northern Colorado Insulin Pumper's Group). Once again, glad you're here & we'll try our best to help!
