After months of waiting and classes, which were very helpful I started yesterday. I thought it would help but so far better then expected. Even my fears of sleeping with it are wiped away. Just have to get used to remember its attatched when I get out of bed. Looking at past post, lots of good info here that helped.

I have the Minimed 515. So far I love it. So much easier to keep levels in check. I have been from going low to 200's to 300 plus on shots, No consistancy, now just two days in steady mid to lower 100's.

I did my first change out of sets today, All went well.

One question. Can you prefill Resevoirs, I imagine you can unless it leaks over time till you use it.

When I went to my training at the DRI last month, the instructor advised a student to have his brother prefill his resorvoirs and place them in the fridge. He was having eye problems.
