After 4 years of shots, shots and more shots we have FINALLY gotten a pump. I have mixed emotions about it. I am so used to doing shots and figuring everything out (the pump does most of this now), it has been a big change for me. I have heard good and bad things can happen when you use a pump. We found out Tuesday when we went to Salt Lake for the pump class, that he would stat using his pump then. He will get a continuous drip of insulin in his body (this is to mimic the pancreas) so when things go wrong with his pump, his blood sugar will shoot up really high in a short amount of time. This is because he doesn't have Lantus in his body anymore.

While I am happy that he finally got a pump, I am hoping things will be good and we wont run into too many problems.

I will keep you all updated :)
