Our beloved mean, green insulin delivery machine showed up today!!! I am so excited! I can't wait to show Samantha! I promised her that I would bring it up to show her at After School today. She is headed to her Dad's house tonight for the entire weekend so we agreed that she needed to see it before Sunday when she comes home.
I knew this thing was small, but I really had no clue how small until I held it in my hand. It just looks so much bigger in pictures! For comparison I took these pics on the left. I thought my cell phone was relatively small, but the pump is even smaller!!
One of the coolest things about this pump is that it has a glucose meter that attaches to the back of the pump and the two communicate with each other through infrared technology. When she puts a test strip into the meter slot the pump screen automatically converts to the glucose meter screen. Once her blood sugar is tested and the reading appears the pump then takes her blood sugar number and based upon pre-set guidelines it suggests insulin treatment if necessary. When she does this at mealtime all she needs to do is enter her total carbs consumed and it automatically calculates a suggested meal bolus based upon her food intake and blood sugar! I so can't wait to get her going on this thing!
Of course we now have to wait until April 6th to attend pump class where we will learn how to use the thing. It came with this GINORMOUS book, so I am sure there is quite the learning curve. Hopefully within the next month Sammy Sue will be a full-fledged pumper!
We decided on the Deltec Cozmore. It is a glucose meter/pump all in one and has so many awesome features that will make Samantha's life that much better. This pump comes in three colors: blue, green and black, she's going green. The pump should be here next week, so I will be posting pictures of the real deal then. I guess this means that I should get busy creating a pattern for a hip little pump case!
YAY!!!
