the pump

Please oh please will someone help me. I'm freaking out, and very scared. My endo doctor wants to start me on the pump cause my diabetes is so bad. She said they will put me in alot of training classes so I understand what to do. But I'm afraid I'm going to mess that up i mean how do you type in your carbs for the day when you don't even know what you are eating for the day? And how do you know how much things are if there isn't a package to go with it? I'm panicking here, a friend of mine must have done something wrong and got dizzy while driving and died in a car wreck. Oh yes that makes me say sign me up first thing. See I have crohns disease also for over 30 years and am always sick and in the hospital. So they just recently put me on humira and two months later exactly 2 months now I think of it, I got an allergic reaction that landed me in the hospital. Now these fools want to try me on cimzia which when I looked it up is almost like the humira. Now why do that? So now I'm double scared. Please help me understand this pump how they attach it to you, I'm seeing some cutting here, and how you make it work. I mean what I fb you go over what you put in? Oh boy panic attack. ....

I must not remember asking about the pump before. I went back with the help of your link and I don't remember any of it so I did read it now. I guess I'm not coming across the way I had hoped. Or maybe because I have to deal with so much, I don't know how to deal with the next thing in line. I'm tired of fighting so hard for the past 30 years to just get up and find another thing to fight with. Please don't misunderstand I'm not really a very difficult person, but sometimes as I suppose and hope you understand it can get depressing, and so difficult even for the most strong. Someone just recently told me, you can know or measure another ones pain. That is so true. I can't comment or understand someone else's pain level and panic level. But I do feel a bit reassured that I now know i don't have to start anything until I have had the proper training. And I want to get that book that was mentioned. Thank you so much for that information. I'm just so scared of the unknown. I need a break. My full time job is keeping records of doctors appointment, medicine times, proper eating times, sugar times, what needs to be refilled andvwhen, am I in need of c a refill? Contact the doctor time? On and on and on.i hope you understand what I am saying. Bless you for listening.

Pez don't stress yourself over it, they will train you as long as it takes for you to be comfortable using it, it takes me now only 10 minutes to setup myself for three days of not taking a needle and you will be better controlled I had to learn the carb counting routine also, I know here in Ontario they are not suppose to give you the pump unless you have the carb counting understood, once you are on the pump you will know longer be following a calorie diet

Anymore questions just ask I will be here, by the way if you like to swim or be in the water I would look into the Animas OneTouch Ping it is the only waterproof pump I know of
