Getting A New Insulin Pump

Friday, January 16th, 2009

Just a quick note, when you are getting fitted for a new pump, make sure it’s the newest one out. When I got my first pump, they gave me one that was outdated the next day…. Assholes. The thing cost me thousands of dollars, and the the newer model was already out. The new one could do way more stuff, and really helped me control my blood sugars better, but I didn’t get it for years because of some greedy ass insulin pump rep who was dumping old units. (And the Dr. sure didn’t help cover my ass.)

So, do your research and find out what the new pump numbers are, and what they can do, before you sign the paperwork and take it home.
