Louie and I finally made a decision as to which insulin pump to get for Shealyn. We were bombarded with new terms and features as we researched the different models available. It is a whole new world for us. We have decided on the Cozmore system made by Deltec. The final straws were the fact that it has an attached glucose meter and the menu is much simpler… fewer steps to go through to get the desired action.
We made our decision this weekend.
I called the pump rep and Jean (our CDE - certified Diabetes educator) Monday morning to let them know our choice.
The pump rep called back late Monday morning to say all necessary forms had been filed already.
Then I get a call this morning from Deltec saying insurance has already approved it and the pump is shipping today.
It will be in our hands on Friday. Talk about service! I was expecting a drawn out process of faxes and hassles with insurance.
Now we just wait to find out when we can get into the clinic for the ‘pump start’ appts. I don’t know what kind of timeline to expect, but we’re hoping to have Shealyn on the pump for at least a few weeks before her baby brother arrives.
