The U-100 was working fine until I started getting sick and then it seemed like everything I did made me even sicker from my appendix to my kidneys which have now completely shut down. Because of that my doctor feels that the u-500 will work best I had never heard of it until now and I have had diabetes since I was 5. I am still unsure about changing to the u-500 the person that is suppose to help with the change over comes wednesday my new pump is not too different then the other on except the color of the pump and the screen is now color. The only other option is to stop taking insulin all together however I would love to see my son graduate and we got 11 more grades to go. Thank you for your information it has given me some comfort knowing that it is not something that just came out.

Yes I am i have been seeing her for a few months and along with my nephrologist whom i have been seen longer since my blood count is low and they are not sure why my count will not get to where it is suppose to be my vitamin d level is 5 and there were other tests that they did that have come back low or too high like my potassium it is like my body doesnt know what to do anymore and it is getting quite scary and annoying to say the least. It seems like i have a doctor for every body system.
