| | | My pump is on the way
I saw my new endo today. He basically said I am an ideal candidate for the pump. He had me see the trainer today. She had me put in a comfort set, which was ok, but I still think I want a 90 degree set. Then doctor signed the form. On my first visit.
He has no idea what type I am, but put me down as type 1 for now, told me I am definite not typical type 2, and told me even if blood work shows I'm type 2, I'm staying on pump. Yay!
I can't believe he signed form first visit, but he told me I am an ideal candidate, which was awesome.
If all goes well I'll be on insulin in two weeks. |

Yay! | Well first off congrats on the pump. And I think we must be twins because your story does sound very much the same as my story. I am sure tho you will enjoy that pump.

Congrats, I'm sure you'll enjoy pumping. You've definitely done your homework. I assume you got the Cozmo?
Yeah, the 90 degrees are better... but we've already been over that.

| | | Congratulations! Soon you will be a member of the "Pumpers Club". My endo was the same way.......told him I wanted to go on the pump on a Thursday and Friday he had signed the paperwork and faxed it over to Mini Med. Within three weeks I was pumping!

Awesome  ...you must be psyched

| | | I asked her what she is going to name her Cozmo and she hadn't come up with any thing yet. So lets help her out.
Suggestions:
Ol Drippy (what I named mine, so that's taken)
Lil Squirt
Others....???
