Well my ice blue deltec cozmo pump (that I named bubbles) died a few weeks ago. It was like 2 weeks before Id have to switch anyway so I just decided to switch early. So we’ve been going through the process of getting a green animas ping. Its gonna be here Thursday! In 2 days!!! IM SO EXCITED!!! I miss my pump so bad! Its like as soon as I got back on shots, all bg control was taken away…up to 436 then down to 36. Whats worse is I have EOCT (End of Course Test) at school this week and next week. This morning was the first. Of course, without Bubbles…It was 9th grade Lit/Comp. Tomorrow is Biology, then next Wed. is Math. Im most worried about Biology, and its not because I wont have Bubbles either. I HATE Biology. Its just really hard for me. I mean, with just class work Im ok, but for some odd reason when a test comes I get like a C. Its not like that in any other subject though! Thats why I hate Biology. Anyway back to the ping. Does anyone have one?? Can you tell me anything about it?? From what I hear its supposed to be really good…
Any info would be appreciated!!! :slight_smile:

Mine is Green Dragon. As for being environmentally friendly…put all the medical waste (strips, tubing, infusion sets, inserters, packaging etc.) in a bag for a month and see how friendly you think it is then. I wish it could be different but there is a lot of waste. I’m keeping it all for some yet-to-be-designed diabetic art project. Maybe I’ll make a Green Dragon…have fun. Pumping is the best.

Well I just got my pump and got hooked up to saline last night. I will be hooked up to novolog with it Tues. so far I am loving it. I am trying to name mine right now also. Lets see, a green one, how bout (Lucky)? Mine is pink so I am trying to come up with something for it. I think though Lucky would be cute for yours. It is for a green clover and a lucky charm.
