NO ONE has every heard of a Level 2.  Not the doctor, not anyone on the insulin pumpers list, and an internet search turned up nothing.  <\/p>\n<p>So, I agongize over that a day, and decide to just bite the bullet.  My health is much more important than money &#8212; can&#8217;t make any of money if I am not healthy, so I call up Animas and want to order one.  The guy I was talking to about it is OUT!  Scream.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, first thing, Friday morning (Aug 15), I leave him a message to the effect if I don&#8217;t hear from him by noon, I&#8217;m calling Deltec and order a Cozmo.  He returned my call, we got it ordered and on the way.<\/p>\n<p>That afternoon, the local trainer calls me and offers me an appointment on Thursday afternoon.  I&#8217;ve got to dump my last period class off with a teacher friend &#8212; super lady &#8212; but its doable.<\/p>\n<p>Get the pump on Monday morning.  Pulled it all apart when I got home, starting watching the video tape.  Oh, and dealing with no A\/C at the same time.<\/p>\n<p>Best news of all, get a phone call on Thursday, a different trainer, she wants to know if we can move appointment later.   YES! YES!  No dumping children off on teacher friend.<\/p>\n<p>So, we do the training on Thursday, and I&#8217;m a pumper.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last post on all of this&#8230;.
