Nathanael received a pump back in March from a very generous person here in town. We didn't go through the official approval process with insurance. His numbers have been really good since he began pumping. His last A1C wasn't a clear reading with his pump because he took his pump off for a week while at camp. That wasn't exactly a good blood sugar week. A few weeks ago, Nathanael and I went to the Take Control of Your Diabetes conference in Missoula. I talked to the Medtronic rep and the T-slim rep while there. We decided that now is the time to get him a new pump since we have met his deductible for the year.
Medtronic went through the whole process to get Nathanael approved for a pump. We got the letter on Saturday that he has been approved! So very excited that he is officially approved to be using a pump. The pump has made a huge difference in his diabetes. His blood sugars stay lower and he also comes down faster than when he was on shots.
