Hi cfoster00,
Congrats on making the decision to use an insulin pump! I've been using the Medtronic Paradigm 522 for 6 years now. I love it and would never go back to multiple daily injections. My bg & HGA1C control has improved greatly, and I feel much more free on a pump.
My #1 piece of advice to a new pump user: always test your blood shortly after inserting a new infusion set (a couple hours?). Sometimes, the cannula kinks or isn't placed properly, and if this isn't caught within the first few hours, can lead to very high bs.
Don't let this scare you, it's just something to be aware of.
Good luck with your pump!
