I just seen one of the coolest devices. Its really neat, You could see the veins plain as day. For the first time she got hit in 1 stick. I actually held the thing and watched him put it in because my wifes veins are pretty small. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KennyFKINPowerz Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 I am a diabetic who is on an insulin pump and before I went on the pump I had a lot of complications and hospital stays. I understand what she is going through. Wishing her a speedy recovery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kshymkiw83 Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 Hope everything goes ok with Mandi Bill. Glad to see they got her in 1 stick though. They did 13 sticks to Chrissy for her surgery to get her IV in. And they did it in the Forearm section where those deep veins lie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the pump but stopped using it because it leaked all the time around the patch that goes into your body, and changing it every 3 days got annoying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zofran is better and no sleepy side effect. I can still barf on phenergan. Zofran is EXPEN$IVE though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use the medtronics stuff and I have never had any kind of issues like that. I do have to say that I usually go about 4 days even though they say 3. Yeah, changing it out does suck but I can eat pretty much whatever I want and I dont have to take 5 shots a day anymore so that makes it worth it to me.
