Pumping It

Back in November, I started trying different types of insulin pumps. I tried both Minimed and Animas and went ahead and got the Animas. What really sold me on it was the fact there was the option to wirelessly bolus from my fancy glucometer that came with the pump itself. I am feeling better, and am grateful for the ease of taking care of myself. Gone are the days of giving myself insulin in public and people staring. I don't have to carry what looks like drug paraphenalia around with me anymore. I just press a few buttons and it's me taking care of myself. I was so strongly opposed to pumping before, but not anymore! I tried to go through the trial with an open mind, and lo and behold, I FELL IN LOVE!
