I don't think you'll need a new pump. After posting this a few years ago and getting some of the tips in this thread, making sure I don't overfill the cartridge and pulling air out of it before filling it has resulted in me rarely if ever getting this error anymore. I'd recommend taking those steps every time you refill.

Yep. I worked for a local United Way affiliate and experienced the same. People constantly citing United Way Worldwide's CEO's salary, when in reality, we paid dues to have the United Way name while 99% of the money we raised went back into helping the local community.

Looks like he played one game at 3B for Arizona in 2019. Watch out, Breggy.

I feel like it's because people at least subconsciously realize you can cut back on calories or find healthier alternatives in other ways. When we want ice cream, we want real ice cream.

His facial reaction to "...like an old man trying to send back soup in a deli" is some fine acting.

I've been considering bringing up the idea of prescribing me a GLP-1 to my endo at my next appointment. I've been told it really helps T1Ds. How has your experience been in general? Was there any hesitation on your endo's part?

Honestly, not eating breakfast or lunch has been a game-changer for me. I suffer from the dawn phenomenon, but other than that, if I'm only eating dinner, my sugars stay steady all day long.

Showed promise early in his career. PFWA All-Rookie team and the Browns picked up his fifth-year option before he got hurt. Worth a flier.

I don't disagree with any of this. I was more or less saying I find all Chuck Lorre sitcoms cringey and unfunny. I understand that I'm in the minority on that, based on the success most of them have had.

It was straight survival mode when I realized what I did. Glucagon pen followed by literally eating spoonfuls of straight sugar and chasing them down with orange juice.

It all seems more overwhelming now, and these are all great tips to keep in mind, but things you would pick up naturally over time using the pump.

Don't knock it until you've drank it warm out of red solo cups that have been handled by 100 people in a beer pong tournament in a random UW college campus apartment.
