I started having trouble with controlling blood sugar as soon as school was out. I started getting wild swings almost immediately.
About the end of June, my doctor suggested that I look into the pump. I started researching it on line, calling the insurance company about it, etc.
I wanted to know exactly how much it would cost me, how would it benefit, all that stuff. One of the best resources was the insulin pumpers list — mentioned them last time. Also, all the individual pump websites.
I did however, get lots of different stories from the insurance company.
All and all it was interesting and I narrowed my selection down to Deltec Cozmo and Animas. The only significant difference I saw between the two, was battery type.
Animas one, because I met one of their sales reps at a support group. I suppose Deltec would have one if I had met them first. Animas had a form in my hand, me filled it out, and off to the doctor’s and insurance company almost immediately.
