Training Day

Had my first day of training on the pump. So far so good. I left wearing it filled with saline to play with it and get use to wearing the pump. Its a little different to have the thing on for 24 hours. Did ok sleeping with it but will have to take some getting use to.

I like the ez carb feature now just to remember all the steps for everything that I have to do.

Along with starting the pump I have switched shifts at work. I am now sitting around on day shift, after years on second. Less active that I was. So now have to change my eating habits along with eating.

Hope fully in a week or two I will start with Insulin. Have to get the doctors ok for that .

Its Here

I received my pump on Sept 20th. I decided on going with the blue. Have checked it out and it works so far as I can tell. It is real easy to scroll through the menus. Still do not have the EZ manger software yet, note in the box said that it should be shipped in 4 to 6 weeks. So that will be nice to have something new to play with.

Right now I have been reviewing the DVD and the manual that came with the pump. Everything seems straight forward to program and set up.

On the 9th of Oct I go in for my first session for training. Should go good I hope.
After I learn how to program the pump and we figured out the my profile should be then we fill it with saline solution and I go through and show that I can operate the pump.

Then I go in for a day and we start the real stuff to see how I do. I know that I have a long way to go to get everything set right.

More in a couple weeks.
