But it still makes me a little sad. 1,000 site changes... 1,000 needles.

I can't remember exactly when, but it was sometime between the first of the year -- a few months after I pestered a fellow PWD/classmate about her MM 508 -- and late summer. I wish I could remember the date, since it made my life so much better.Jeffhttp://www.jeffmatherphotography.com/dispatches/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5690084467070242215.post-13852224522725874272011-07-18T10:46:12.874-04:002011-07-18T10:46:12.874-04:00happy pumpaversary, mike! :)

In fact, in some places, a larger bolus will be a little painful each time, but not enough to remove the site. And the site is never bad, just for some reason more tender.Judihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09580431116496441711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5690084467070242215.post-16457754309986258662011-07-18T07:51:14.434-04:002011-07-18T07:51:14.434-04:00Aw, happy pump-a-versary. :D

I did try on one of those snappy little insertors at a seminar so that I would know how it felt and not be scared, but I hear you...I hate waiting for the SNAP. Thanks for sharing this Mike, makes me a little more confident about going forward with the pump one of these Meaganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08350974950751807282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5690084467070242215.post-26114047125599431082011-07-18T04:18:33.147-04:002011-07-18T04:18:33.147-04:00Thank you for this ...

He also winces with the first bolus sometimes. Do you ever experience that? I asked my CDE about it (she has type 1 as well) and she hasn't ever experienced that. Just curious. Happy Decade! You show us grace and courage Mike.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00895126112651188056noreply@blogger.com
