I was hoping I'd have my new insulin pump by my birthday - a 50th birthday gift to myself. I called the insurance company on Monday and they said they had the paperwork, it was in process, probably 10 days to 14 days for approval.
Whine. No birthday pump for me.
Friday. I call the minimed guy and leave a message. Oh, typical Friday. I guess I won't hear back today. Later, I call him again on a whim. He says all has been approved and it will be on its way, possibly arriving Wednesday next week. Eeek! Now I have to think about all the things that have to go with it. I'm not talking about the IV3000 transparent dressing or deciding what inserter to use, I'm talking about the case and the pajamas with the pocket. Now I'm nervous, but I skip into the hallway anyway. 'I'm getting a pump, I'm getting a pump.'

Is that a diabetes problem?

Its actually a diabetes solution. What it enables me to do is to control my insulin with a pump that’s directly connected to me instead of daily shots.
