Minimed Pump

Just got my new Mini Med 722 - LOVE IT!! I was on a Cozmo for 5 years and it's a bit archaic now!

eesh Kelly, those lows sound pretty bad. I used to take NPH and I could always tell when my sugar was even starting to get low and I would just over-treat and keep going. I drew the line at diet Dr. Pepper though I did get used to saccharine! Congrats on the 30+ years and the children and your commitment to take care of yourself. =) I chose to go on my pump for no particular reason... my little niece was brave enough to try it (T1 at age 12, 4 years ago) and I thought to myself - why not? I did 29 years of shots and it's time for a change!
