Pumping with Tandem t:slim X2

I began pumping with an Animas pump in 2009 and now…

Pumping with Tandem t:slim X2!

The delivery! Look at all this stuff!
    

I did not read the manual. There are 348 pages for pete’s sake! (I hardly ever read manuals. Drives my husband nutty.)
    

I had promised the trainer that I wouldn’t start it up until she had been here. But, I played with the buttons.
    

I copied all my settings to Diasend, printed them out for the trainer for the t:slim.    

I had ordered a pump skin earlier in the week from Tallygear.com.

On Monday morning, I assembled all the stuff. Good grief!

Wanting to dress appropriately for this occasion – I had to choose a d-shirt.

Goodbye Animas Ping. We had a great friendship! (Taken before setting up the t:slim, therefore the clock isn’t set.)

Who knew that learning how to use a new pump could be fun? Erica, the Tandem trainer for up here in the woods – Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont – came to the house. We enjoyed lunch from a nearby deli and then we began.

And then we hooked up Dexcom. Amazingly, my transmitter had been showing signs and warnings of departure (aka time for a new one), so we paired up a new one with the pump and my phone.

Thanks Erica, for teaching me how to use my new t:slim!

And this morning is a beautiful morning.
