Pump Died

Julia's pump died on Thursday while at school. We were sent a new one by Animas, and recived it the next day. We had to go back on Lantus for that short time, though. It made me realize how much easier it is to manage b/g's with a pump. Not that I didn't know, but it was a huge reminder of why we switched. We had already given lantus the second day, so we kind of used the untethered approach for that day. We used the pump for her boluses, and set a temp basal at off until she would have been due for the next lantus injection. It worked really well.

I am really impressed that Animas got us a replacement pump out so quickly. We have had problems with other shipments not coming when they say they are out for delivery, so I was also impressed with UPS this time around.

Being back on injections was a nightmare. I really hope that we never have to do that again.
