Hi, I'm Kiersten and I'm 18 years old. I have had diabetes for almost 4 years. I was diagnosed at 14, as a high school freshman. I'm a soon to be college freshman. I use a minimed 522 insulin pump and I love it.

I love pumping, even if it is only saline
I really love pu mping so far. My pump trainer is coming to my house on Friday at 5:00 PM and I'm going to pump with Insulin (Humalog). I am so excited. I really am. It is so easy, atleast so far. But I know that nothing is perfect (can you say Murphy's Law?!?!?!?!)I even did my first site chnage all by myself and I had NO problem doing it. I really love pumping. It is a little akward for me to just whip out my pump at school to bolus, but I do it anyway because, really what choice do I have? When did I get a say in the matter? It's either take the insulin or don't take it and feel really crappy. But anyways the whole point of this post is to say....I love pumping and I love my Minimed 522 and I'm so glad that I went with it. I even named it. His (yes it is a he) name is Leo Lime, even though he is a black (smoke) pump. I really wanted an animas, but I am SO happy that I chose Minimed. Well actually I didn't choose Minimed. Insurance covered it 100% and my mom didn't feel like fighting with insurance, you know? But that's ok. AS I just said I LOVE my Minimed. I'm just so happy!
