A Pump, Please!

Yesterday, I got to get out of school because of a diabetes appointment in Spokane, at Sacred Heart Children's Hospital (where I was diagnosed). I was just having a checkup with Dr.Gearheart (I think that's how you spell it...). But then, my mom and I brought up the topic of pumps. A pump is a machine that can give me my insulin without having to get a shot. They're about the size of an iPod Touch, maybe a tiny bit smaller. The pump holds a container of insulin, and there is a tube connected to the container. The tube goes into my body (not that deep!), and gives me insulin! I just type in how much insulin I need, and Walla! That's the basics; there's a lot more you can do with it. Anyway, I only knew a teeny bit about them. Dr.Gearheart and my diabetes educator (Ann) told us about different kinds: the Medtronic, the Animas, the Omnipod, and the t:slim. To sum things up, the Medtronic was a little iffy, but still good. The Animas, or Ping, didn't sound like my type of thing. The Omnipod sounded really good, but it only had a remote control type of thing, and I lose things pretty easily XD. The t:slim sounds like my dream pump XD. It's a touch screen, really easy to use, etc.. Of course, every pump has it's cons, so I still don't know which one to choose. I personally really like the t:slim, but we're still new to this whole pump thing. I had been told I wouldn't get a pump for six months to a year, but now, hopefully, I'll get a pump in a month! :) :)
