Any insulin dependent diabetic should have access to a pump, without many questions. (So long as they are capable of taking care of themselves, which you clearly are.) What state are you in? That is ridiculous. (Although with your training I'm not sure a pump would be the best option for you-- I know I put on a lot of weight when I first got mine and realized I could then take insulin to match my food, instead of the other way around. In all cases, though, I'm very impressed with your A1c!! Congrats!) Oh no Biz your insurance co is out of its “mind” (as if it has a mind; we know they don’t!).

Yes, it is a pain in the ass to have to plan for EVERYTHING that touches my lips. Unfortunately since I am considered a controlled insulin dependent diabetic (AC1 was 6.4 last month), my insurance company is balking at paying for an insulin pump :( Thanks for the great post!

Understanding how diabetes, thyroid, all of it fit in is a huge piece of the puzzle. Wonderful – I particularly like “we all have things” we do.
