We picked an Animas Ping pump for Wyatt. It has a remote control unit that administers insulin from 10 feet away. I called and left a message for our nurse at CHLA this morning to get the ball rolling and she called back within 15 minutes. An hour and a half later, a representative from Animas Ping called and took our insurance, medical, and order details.
It's been great working with competent folks who have all the right answers to my financial, medical, and logistical questions. I wish all medicine worked this well.
These suckers retail for about $7,500, so maybe that has something to do with it?

It's a new day in your "parents of a diabetic" life! Congrats on the pump - When I was younger we had a close family friend with child onset diabetes (no idea if that is the right term, but hopefully it works). There were no pumps then, and I have to say that is too bad, they look wonderful, and perhaps actually worth $7,500.00.
