[GreatDane1011]

[horse13096]

Im getting a pump!!!!!!

[GamblerMan85]

that thing does seem huge when your ramming in your gut trust me i know first hand ;)

[TheCurryFilms]

i was diagnosed with diabetes 3-4 hours after making fun of a diabetic commercial and i was like " RRR IM DIABETIC I CANT EAT TWINKIES" then i was thirsty and my mom took me to the emergency room and they said that i had diabetes. D=

[broot4u]

I'm struggling with my recent diagnosis, and it's hell on earth getting my insulin right. Had my first low bottom out.. in a hotel lobby last week. They're threatening me with a pump due to the severity of the shifts in my glucose.

I am very very nervous about the pump. Honestly, the idea of being "plugged in" just isn't palatable at all. I mean, what about sex... seriously. Explain to your paramour you're not part Borg.. don't think that's something I could handle. Any thoughts?

[GamblerMan85]

@broot4u

I understand where your coming from i felt the same. You get used to it. I don't even notice mine anymore until it beeps at me because its time to rewind it. As far as sex goes personally just detach the pump yeah you still have the little patch looking thing on your gut but it doesn't get in th eway of anything.

[DaBoomz13]

does type 1 diabetes do something to the human body, except remove your own insulin so you have to use that kind of pump or a pen.

[kasiastm]

zazdroszcze ci pompy też bym chciała miec

[blackat86]

What brand is it?

[zarry13]

you have the clicky thingy im so afraid to try that.!

[brianpaton]

@zarry13 Yeah its pretty intimidating the first time you do it but actually you don;t feel it at all. You feel the large plastic thing hit you more than the needle. If you do it a couple times you'll realize that its no biggie :)

[LuisCamposG7]

what happens if you accidenatlly fall or bend?

[KingBarlow]

you dont feel it after a mabee 15 min. you can tug on the cord bump into it and feel no pain. you forget its there

[puppilove1996]

@KingBarlow i hate it when u insert a site and it hurts like living hell

i have the same pump as you. :) mine is blue with a canada flag sticker on it :D

[guitardude5050]

i just use the pens but im considering the pump and i wanna know if the tube and/or the needle hurts

[KingBarlow]

@guitardude5050 it may hurt for a second but less than a needle really and after about 10 min you will feel nothing! its great

[1HappyDiabetic]

I agree too. You feel the insertion for about 10 mins afterward and then your good.

[commanderbly1]

@KingBarlow yeah you are right i have diabetes to it does hert for a while

[soxamillion]

@guitardude5050 to be onest the injections hurt more than this you cant feel the thing after a second it doesent hurt realy you just feel a little shock

[saralovesmymandycow7]

@guitardude5050 i use the silhoute. i dont like the automatic (putter in thing?) so i do it manually, it doesnt hurt at all as long as you change it every three days

[soloskating]

i just use injections , i don't like the pumps

[kenadyc]

LOL! youre so funny.

My freakin needle always sticks too.

I have a clear paridigm 722 :)

LOOOOOVE it.

[Tcrrtheguy]

We in sweden gets this stuff for free. Everything. Just need to contact the doctor and they will give it to u. (=

[thatdudetyler]

Im thinking about getting the blue inserter does it hurt

[2008ol]

@thatdudetyler As long as you pick a site with plenty of meat which hasn't been used in a while it wont hurt. It's very quick. Just make sure you give the area of the stomach that you use time to heal before using it again.

[DiabetesGirl3145]

How do you like the minimed. It looks like you have the 522, am I right?

[hgjsha13715]

how much did you pay for it?

[DiabetesGirl3145]

He has the medtronic. It costs $6,000. I don't know how much his insurance covers, but I have blue cross blue sheild and I paid 650. I also hve to pay $30 a month for supplies. Monthly supplies cost $300.

[Mackalacko]

Check out w.w.w(.)diabetia(.)org

Few good stuff there that I'v learnt.. :- )

[xoNiiCOLEE42]

i have that inserter & it like jabs my stomach when i put it in.... haha i dont likeee it!

[Songster93]

I numb the site before i put it in...much less painfull :D

[timoje17]

How do you numb the site?

[Songster93]

I use this stuff called "Emla Cream" and wait for about an hour before I inject the pump...works wonders...or I put ice on it and numb it that way

[timoje17]

Aha , thanks a lot , ill look it up

[bootybutt23]

ohh well im just scared to try it. i think it might hurt if it gets pulled out...

[whatever1210]

i have dropped my pump a few times and i go down with it cause it's just heavy. haha if it's in a good spot it shouldn't hurt if it gets tugged on. plus if you have sensitive areas yeah that will hurt.

[h0r53s]

You did well, iused to hate doing that, then i went on to a diffrent one!! then i came off it coz i didnt like it!1

[bootybutt23]

daangg im scared to get on thee pump.. i dont want to feel attached or have anybody pull it out or summ happen... helluh scary buhh im tired of takingg 4 shots a dayy... is thee pump better??

[h0r53s]

[KingBarlow]

[bootybutt23]

[pellegrini0929]

I'm still on shots. I hope I get the pump soon.

[elrodracing]

[Emsanangel123]

[Princechirs]

[jchaytor]

i have diabetes and i'm only 10 (yeah i know i shoudnt be reading your cusses lol) and its terrible

[sweeneytwilightgrl]

i am so thrilled to have a pump and i use the same one as the boy in the video and yeah its so much easier since ive been on it better numbers and so much more =) i love that thing!

and hey do yall get low or high in the middle of sports message me with ur anwcer cus i get high and dont know why

[1HappyDiabetic]

Great Vid. I use the CoZmo pump.

[tristansmyth222]

I ahte when I put that type on and it hits liek a nerve or something and ur jsut like "Oh *%@% @%#%@ %@%!~% #&$!!!!!" At least the needle isn't taht big.

[Buletuber]

My sister Cozy Has the the Same pump

But it takes her forever to do what u just did x.x

[Fr3akstyle]

any meter is cheep. its the strips that cost alot. what a rip off

[tristansmyth222]

$50 bucks ain't cheap

[howitgarn]

Mate, leave the paper covers of the cannula on, then push down once it is in the blue infusion setter. Then release the setter, now remove the white covers, push the cannula back down via the plastic needle cover, and do your normal procedure from here. Good luck

[sierraemo19]

i have diabetes and i have a pump it took 2 years to get it tho...and i have an anamas pump anyone ells? if u do then send me a friend request

[miniheli]

woo Great news for medtronic pump users!

There giving us a FREE one touch® ultra link™ Meter. I am so happy, I got the mail yesterday and it said that the wireless glucose meter will be commeing to my house at june 30th. Medtronic is the best!

"though, cuz i didn't have enough fat so it hit my muscles. I did it in the butt and it didn't hurt at all!"

Ya I had to do it on my butt because I am supper skinny. But after I got used to it I switched it to my stomach. My levels have never been better

[tristansmyth222]

Tell me bout it. I am able to run 7 miles straight without getting low in the middle of it!

[grandrapidsscum]

ouch buddy! you should use the silhouette infusion set.

[Buletuber]

cool pump cover i don't have a cover thing i just leave my blue pump stay the way it is cuz i like blue

[armymansfieldbrat]

FYI its called a skin

[soxamillion]

@Buletuber same

[ManUnitedMike22]

I did that for my first time today, i couldnt do it in my stomach though, cuz i didnt have enough fat so it hit my muscles. I did it in the butt and it didnt hurt at all!

[miniheli]

I got my 722 more than 3 weeks ago. Wow! What a difference. Diabetes is so much easier now. Earlier I posted cause I was scared of that long needle. It didn't hurt at all!! Only half of that needle goes in and it leaves a plastic canula and the needle comes out! But for some reason I do still get nervous to pull the trigger but I get over it. Fantastic. Blood sugars are much much better.

[lazydonkey07]

cool. i have a pump like that but with out the skin on it.i use the quick set too. it doesnt hurt that bad, but how can u have people watch you? it makes me nervous and and i cant insert it.

[TheCelticKopite]

I personally hate the idea of having a pump attached to myself

[mac420101]

Its better then doing the X number of times doing daily injections and also, you will have much better control of ya sugars with just one type of Insulin which is used in pumps, the Quick acting Insulin like Novolog, Regular and so on.

[TheCelticKopite]

I understand the pros but I PERSONALLY don't like the idea of it, that's all.

[natimil14]

how much is that my mom wants it

[pspisomaster]

those pumps are most reliable i think its the one im getting soon i have diabetes type 1

[SophieHH1]

im thinking of getting that same pump as you but kinda more interested in the OmniPod just have to see if i can get it in australia.

Is your pump easy to use?

[dogafin]

is that coffee maker i hear in the background?

[KingBarlow]

no the pump is powered by a tiny V-8 engine, JK but that would be halarious if it reved wile pumping

[dogafin]

how cool :)

[1HappyDiabetic]

Way to pump it!!!

[miniheli]

Thanks for your comment. I feel a whole lot better now. Still havent gotten my pump yet but the nurse is making a note to get me a 722 with the glucose montering system. Today I checked almost evry 40 minutes. I still cant believe it. 2 hours after I ate things went from 120 to 220??

[miniheli]

Im gona get the 722 in 3 more months. Im so happy no more stupid syringes or pens.

But 1 thing CRAP! I didn't know you had to put it in you that way, gross. Im scared now lol. Have a couple of questions since im so freaked out by your vid. How long and how thick is the needle? Dose it hurt any more then a regular injection from a syringe or a pen.

[KingBarlow]

32 gage needle i think

[keff02]

hello iv just read your comment asking does the insulin pump infusion set hurt more than a regular shot with a pen. NO, im scared of needles and the insulin pump is great, i have the 522. when i put the cannula/needle(quickset- 6mm in length) in with the inserter device, you dont feel hardly anything and its alot less painful than the pen. just a press off a button and its done. you will be free from injections for 3 or 4 whole days
