Pumped

I'm back on the insulin pump!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love it. Last time I was on the pump I had to apply numbing cream an hour before I manually inserted a huge needle into my skin. Now I have these things called MIOs where I can basically cock it back like a gun, press down and the needle shoots into my skin and the process is less painful and then it's over. Oh, and they're pink.

YESSSSSSSSSSSS!

So, how often do you have to do the MIO needle thing with the pump?

You have to change your infusion site (where the tubing enters your skin and where insulin is delivered) every 2-3 days.

So it's like one big shot every 2-3 days rather than 5-6 every day.
