- Well...I have solved my blood sugar issues. I am pretty sure the OmniPod caused my problem, as it has done so in the past. So, I am on my MM again, and my numbers are back to normal...well, as normal as they get.
- I'm still trying to get my endo to sign the appeal letter for the Cozmo. I really love the OmniPod, but its obviously not working for me. As for the MM...I would rather be on MDI. It is a great pump, but I just don't like it. That was why I switched to the OmniPod in the first place. What works for some doesnt always work for others.
- After the pump ordeal gets situated, I will be on the loooooooooooong journey of trying to obtain coverage for a CGMS. I'm trying to decide between the Navigator and the Dexcom. Navigator will one day communicate with the Cozmo, it has a built in meter, and predictive alarms. The Dex doesnt have these features. Needless to say, I'm leaning towards the Navigator.
- I got a call-back for an interview, so hopefully I will be hired so I can start saiving money for a car.
Well, now I'm off to bed. It was a long day. I'll update soon. :D

How did you manage to get an OmniPod while you're also using an MM? I'm curious because I wanted to try out an OmniPod without committing to it.
I switched to a Cozmo last year. It's a little big, but I love the features and customization. I wish the software was way better, but I still like the pump.
This is the first time I came across your blog, so I've added it to the diabetes search engine. You may also want to register with the Diabetes OC so other folks know you're here.
Malyssa,
Good luck with your pump situation and job interview! Have a great holiday weekend.

bernard- it was actually pretty easy to get an OmniPod while my MM was still under warranty. We just had to write a letter to the insurance company explaining the benefits of having no tubing in an active lifestyle, etc. If you want to try it, I know that Insulet will send you a dummy pod if you visit the website (myomnipod.com), or call them.
Thank you for adding me to the search engine!
mike- thank you! you have a great holiday weekend as well!
