So… after two years of wishing for access to an insulin pump it seems my dream is coming true. I was at the clinic today, and they are submitting paperwork so I can get an insulin pump. I cannot believe it is happening! I am so excited! I hope nothing snags things. My latest and 5th diagnosis is type one weird. Well not exactly, but something like that.
I contacted my insurance and Animas. I filled out forms and had my endo fax a form to Animas. Because I live in Canada, my province has a program that will cover the cost of the pump and give me an allowance for supplies. I have to keep receipts in case they audit me.
I called around to about ten pharmacies inquiring about the prices of supplies. Thought I found a bargain when they told me 10 cartidges/resevoirs was $43.99 but when I got there, they were not. They were $75. Found them cheaper elsewhere. Waiting for pump to ship before I buy resevoirs and tubing, etc.
I can’t share my excitement with my friends and family… at least I can here. My start date is 1st week of December and not saline start. Real deal. Woohoo!
