I was approached a couple of months ago to start a trial for the Asante SNAP Insulin Pump. As you may recall, I have stopped using my Medtronic pump about 6 months ago and have been on MDI. This will be my first time pumping since May. I chose to wait until now to do the trial because I knew that I had my honeymoon approaching and I didn’t want to be on a trial insulin pump in another country.
In order to get started, I have to regroup and figure out all of my old pump settings as a starting point. This is going to be a great test for the pump, because I will need to be testing my basal rates and carb ratios and sensitivity levels because I know they have changed from 6 months ago when I stopped pumping.
My training is later today, so from now until the end of the trial, you will be seeing a lot of posts, tweets, Facebook posts, Google+‘s and any other thing I use to share the info.
Wishing myself a happy pumping experience.
