NO MODY but YES PUMP :D

had an endo appointment yesterday and my A1C is down to 7.6 from 8.2 in August, so I'm happy about that.
My MODY tests came back negitive, not very suprising though. If anyone asks me what type of Diabetes I have I will say this "Well..it's not MODY, and it doesn't appear to be Type 1 and it is definitely NOT type 2, I'm going to say that I have...are you ready for this?.....Type KIERSTEN :D...What do you think?"
That will be my response. I love it.

But on a serious note...I asked about a pump and the endo thinks it is a good idea, so I'm about as happy as can be.
I really want an One Touch (Animas) Ping...but I don't know it insurance will cover it.
Also my endo told me that I might like something online, but I might not like it in person, and since I will be attached to it, I should look at other pumps too. So I am looking at a Ping and a Minimed. We are going to call and have reps come out to my house, so I can look at them and get the feel of them.
For those of you that have those pumps....what do you LIKE about your pumps and what do you DISLIKE about your pumps? Thanks :)

Does anyone have any advice or words of wisdom for me regarding pumping? I could sure use some.
Well I know its Thursday night but.....I hope that everyone has a good weekend!
