Tell us more, what pump? (sorry if you have told us earlier, memory is the second thing to go. I forgot the first).

| | | Congratulations Cheryl. I am using the 715 and love it! (I also opted for clear) Very hi-tech looking. I am sure you will love your pump. I have never had a problem with mine either.
I started on saline and after a day gave up and moved over to insulin. I didn't see the point after a day of it!
Congratulations! |

You're more patient than I would be. Every time I get a package I track it from origin to my house. Then run after the truck down the street. You'll have to put up pictures of you modeling it for us. (I hope that didn't sound creepy...)
