[Diabetes-talk] Talking Insulin pump is it out yet?

[Veronica Elsea]

Bridget and others, I've found that it's pretty easy to hear any air 
bubbles when filling the cartridge. As you're pushing the plunger in, 
just hold the thing near your ear and you'll get great info. <grin.> 
In 20 years, nobody has ever filled any of my cartridges. It was a 
bit trickier filling the little pod for the OmniPod though. There was 
more effort involved in keeping all of the twiddly fiddly bits of 
tape out of the way. I hope this part is more nicely designed on the 
Prodigy. <grin.>
And like you Bridget, a cartridge also lasts me about a week. And one 
day after having quite an argument with a really annoying 
endocrinologist, I changed my basal pattern so that a new rate came 
in on the half hour. I did it just to bother him. Funny thing was it 
really worked for me too. Oh sometimes that little imp inside just 
has to come out and play. Hahahahaha!
I'm just about to undertake another round of basal testing to see if 
my levels are still correct. Right now my insulin to carb ratios are 
one unit per 15 grams at breakfast and 1 unit per 10 grams later in the day.
