      Busily beating those Himalayan glucose swings into gentle ebbs and flows through the miracle of low-carb and a circadian profile.

      Lol that made me laugh about the bra. I am gonna call them tomorrow and ask about the wires cos the ones I have are okay when I the cannula in my tummy but not when it is in my upper arm. And my friend do not like it when all the tubing is showing. They think I look like a Borg from Voyager. I think they just are not comfortable with my illness but I guess I would still prefer it to be a bit more discreet.

      I am using Animas Vibe. And yes I will. Initially I just accepted what I was given. But I was allowed to choose between Medtronic and animas vibe.

      Your post about the different cannulas and choosing between nylon and steel was really interesting. And the steel one, does it come in different needle lengths? 6mm does not sound too bad to use.
