>> After conversing with several people I feel confident in having made

>> My warranty would be up January 27, 2020 and therefore I did not want
>> to learn to use the 530 to have to go to a crap shoot from February
>> forward not knowing if my 530 pump were to break I would be out of
>> luck and have to go to the pens anyway.

>> One of the gals I spoke with has Type I diabetes along with her
>> husband and daughter. Her daughter attends a camp each year where the
>> attendees go a week without using their pumps and use pens. Evidently
>> all goes quite well during this week.
>> She also mentioned that the insulins have greatly improved since I was
>> last using a long acting prior to 2000.

>> I'm anxious to observe how my blood sugars will be reading on the
>> Dexcom this coming week as I will begin using the pens on Saturday.

>> As always I welcome any comments .,
