YEY! Mario and Luigi arrived via UPS today while I was at lunch! I’m so super excited!

Also, my other concern about possibly needing to move my appointment up from Tuesday to tomorrow or Monday has been alleviated. I was worried that I would run out of insulin in my current pump the day before and have to waste a whole bunch of insulin by filling a new cartridge. As it turns out, with my decreased insulin requirements, I only average 36u per day. I have 177 units left in my pump now, so that should last 4.9 more days, which would have me lasting until a couple of hours before the appointment. (Unless I bolus by shot for my meals through the weekend. That alone will save about 15u per day). The only question now is whether the insulin will be good  that long. I guess if my bg’s start going up, I’ll switch it all out and only partially fill a new cartridge.

I am trying to resist the urge to go ahead and start on the new pump. I have already set up the pump settings to match my current ones, along with setting up the meter, all per the manual’s instructions (which I have read over and over again before the system got here… I’m such a geek!). I’m hoping that even though I have set it up and taken the batteries out, that it’ll still “remember” the settings. If not, that’s ok. I’ll just consider what I’ve done as a practice run! ;-)

The skins were supposed to arrive today as well, but they didn’t, so I’m guessing they’ll come tomorrow. I’ll keep you guys posted as things move along.

Take Care!
