So, about a month and a half ago I started on an insulin pump, and it's mostly been just peachy so far. Once I got everything adjusted right, I've had numbers right where they're supposed to be and almost no weight gain, and the thing is about as easy to use as your average cell phone. (Which is good for me, but YMMV, as they say)
Unfortunately, today I was changing my reservoir when I heard a little *pop* as I screwed it in, and looked down to see a bright crack ringing the top of the reservoir well. 'Are you f-ing kidding me?' I thought, amazedly examining the little bugger from every angle and trying to determine if it was still priming. Thinking of what my insurance rep would say if I told them $6K they shelled out had bit the dust in a little over a month, I called the company and they zipped a new replacement in the mail, to arrive tomorrow via FedEx.
All night I've been jumping like a kangaroo every time the thing alarms and reaching for the test kit. Oy. It amazes me how much technology has come to rule my life, but then again, it beats the hell out of the Ladder Diet.
