My dream pump would be pink!! but my meter is blue. It would be a good combination - blue and pink!! I love these colors!!
i have a purple pump now, but i would love a green one. my meter is just the plain old one touch ultra link. I may end up using my green one touch mini... but i enjoy the fact that the numbers go straight to my pump, so we'll see.
My current pump's name is Hal, and Hal is Atomic Purple.
My dream pump would glow in the dark and have recordable tones/ringtones for different issues, like high bbg alerts and lows...or missed a meal. I think I'd like it to have silly, replaceable, completely useless, frivolous things like a strobe light or a rotating disco light.
I love the software that goes with my pump...you can name things...so of course, I have goofy names for everything...meal boluses and different basal patterns. I think I would enjoy immensely and be more willing and ready to always pursue better care if it were addictive fun in some way...
This sounds like I don't take care of myself or something...I actually work very hard. I do think about things that would make life wearing a pump more fun. I mean, why not have some fun with the thing? Incorporate identity into an item, that sort of thing...I have one meter that is pink...it's a little one that I use when I can't get readings from the detachable meter on my cozmo.
I have a pink ping. My parents like to call it Bing. I wish the meter/remote came in pink. I also wish the meter/remote had a backlight. I would love if it came in purple which is my new favorite color.
I also have a silver Freestyle Flash and I have a sticker with a dog on it. It's like made out of some weird material but it's so cute. It's purple and the doggie is sitting there.
I have a "clear" MiniMed Paradigm 722 but the "control panel" is dark grey with all light grey buttons except the "ACT" button which is blue. My Meter is the One-Touch UltraLink supplied by MiniMed. It is dark blue and silver.
I haven't named either of them, but I did make up a word which means to change the infusion set and refill the pump. The word is "repumpulate." Used in a sentence, it would work like: "My pump is low on insulin so I better repumpulate before it runs out." Does anyone else use this word or have a different word for changing the infusion set and refilling the pump?
I didn't know you could get clear pumps. That is so cool. I use the phrase "changing my pancreas". Like if I run out I will tell my mom my pancreas ran out of insulin. We were in the car one day and were talking about my pump and I said "How do you like my pancreas in a box?" She started laughing. Fun times. lol. :)
id love all my stuff to be hot pink ;D
haha, Paul I have the same pump and meter as you and same colors (clear and gray). I used to have a blue pump but I got sick of blue after a while. I actually like having a clear/grayish pump but my dream meter would be green or purple.
I have a green Minimed. I was super bummed that they dropped the Green when they switched to Paradigms.
But I'm being lame and thinking about being more "adult" when I upgrade the next time and getting a plain black one that will be more acceptable in the adult business world. Because this green one sticks out like WHOA if it's not inside my pocket.
I have a purple named jo rose buthead simpson
and my meter is siver i think and is named kelli jo jaimie rose chaffingregory
My favorite color is green too. But they didn't have any left.
My meters are Purple and Pink though.
my pump is silver but i want this orangey yellow one or green(my fav color) and my meter i blue...
my first paradigm was clear and then i got a very pretty turquoise one(:
except it died at camp this summer so now mine is purple.
but i am thinking of getting a neon zebra print skin, which is exciting!
uhm i haven’t named them, but i refer to my pump as "my diabeetus"
so if my pump is hanging out of pocket or whatever, and someone points it out, i’m all, "oh yeah, my diabeetus is showing."
aahhaha i find it totally amusing but i do not know if anyone else does.
ahaah but isn’t that always the case…
Mine is going to be purple. My meter is blue with fish stickers on it.
My pump is gray. I am going to get a skin from http://www.skinit.com/devices/medical_devices. They have some really cool skins, EVEN TYE DYE for those of you who said you wanted that. They are fairly affordable ($15). I mean considering you wear it 24/7. I pay more than that for shoes and I never wear the same shoes each day!
