My A1C is slowly creeping down. It’s at 7.9 now. I think the highest was 9.1 Also not bad considering we just had homecoming and Halloween, which seem to be the same holiday around here. Both are celebrated with costumes and candy.
I will be seeing my endo on Wednesday and my pump warranty is out in January. I’m shopping for a new pump and it is dismaying to find out that there has not been in advances in technology in four years. I am considering all the other pump manufactures now, and in particular the OmniPod. Good news is that a dog friend of mine just got one.
One frustrating thing is that the Animas people have not upgraded the pump, the meter or the EzManager software in the four years that I have owned my pump, yet my insurance people will have to shell out the purchase price of a new pump ad I’ll have to pay the upgrade cost of a new pump.
<argh>
Plus there is no guarantee that I’ll get insurance coverage on CGMS equipment which is the only thing that the new pump improves. In fact, from the website, it looks like they have gotten rid of the remote.
