Medtronic Paradigm insulin pump: changing the site

A quick video showing how I change out my insulin pump. I was diagnosed when I was 15 and am coming up on my ten year "anniversary." I have been pumping since two months after my diagnosis. Hope this helps anyone who is thinking about changing to a pump. It will change your life. Go for it!

Please excuse my pjs. :)

Also, I wanted to explain really quickly why the "sugguested bolus" amt was only 2.5 when the pump said I needed 1.6 for the food and 2.7 (which would seem like the bolus should have been 4.2). The bolus wizards on Minimed pumps uses a formal to decide how much active insulin is still your body. Therefore, even though I need 4.2 to correct my high and account for the food, it only recommends 2.5 b/c I still have 1.7 active units still in my body (usually from a recent bolus). It's a great feature that cuts down on lows from over correcting highs.
