Pump Support Group Meetings

My friends make fun of me when I say I'm going to a Pump Support Group Meeting, they say "is that like AA?"  If you're a Diabetic, whether you're on the pump or not, I would HIGHLY recommend going to one.  I go to the meetings in Cincinnati, Dayton, and Sidney, Ohio.  You can learn a lot at these, and it really is interesting talking to other Diabetics about how they deal with certain situations.  

As for last nights meeting, Medtronic spoke about their CGMS.  Since I've been on it for 18 months it's not that exciting to me anymore.   Don't get me wrong, I love it, but I was hoping to hear about a smaller, less invasive sensor, or a new feature.  Unfortunately no new news.  The coolest thing I heard last night was more an insurance issue.  The Doctor who runs the group is getting almost all of his patients CGMS covered by insurance.  I'm still paying out of pocket, so this is great!
