How much do you think it will cost?

I'm getting new insulin pump soon. I have selected the Minimed Paradigm 722. This pump will best suit my lifestyle. I'm also getting the CGM (continuous glucose monitoring) that is an option for the 722.

Any other users out there? What do you think of the 722? I have done my research and this pump will just be the best one for me.

My current (first and so far, only) pump is an 8 year old Minimed 508 that, while it works okay, is due for replacement. The warranty is long gone and it does have a couple of problems (does not hold memory when changing batteries, does not hold power as long as it used to, buttons are hard to push...it's just wearing out).

In the event that my insurance will not cover the CGM, I will get the glucose meter that goes with that pump so the results can be transmitted to the pump for more accurate dosing).

I'd like some opinions. Even if you use another pump brand, I'd like to hear about experiences with them...good or bad.

I cry all the time. I get anxious. Sometimes have panic attacks and get angry easily. There are times when I can overcome this. but then they surface. My relationship w/ my long distance boyfriend is in jeopardy bc I'm so emotional and I'm afraid it will affect my job. I go to a psychologist but end up feeling bad that I'm paying so much. I do yoga. I meditate. I eat ok. But I still feel so bad sometimes. I really don't want to take medication. But this is ruining my life. I'm very scared and feel very alone. If you have any suggestions, I would appreciate them. I don't feel like I can talk about these problems to my boyfriend or mother any more because I've burdened them too much. I'm 26 y/o and live alone.

when i had sex for the first time i didn't bleed and it wasn't painful but my boyfriend was very gentle.But the sad thing though we've been togther for 1yr and when i told i was a virgin he didn't believe me cuz maybe i wasn't screaming allover the place or something but penetration was easy and it was good but after having sex for the first time we had to part a few days after due to my family issues so we never got to the bottom of that conversation cuz we lost all contact of each other what should i do? but i'm finally going back to my home town after 2yrs so i'm hoping that we still have our good connection and i could tell him i was a virgin without him thinkin twice bout it..........i think our feelings will never die for each other even though we move on in life

I'm a 19 y/o male who has been feeling sick since mid august of this year. The symptoms were sudden, one day I was fine and the next I felt like I had some kind of flu. However, I did not have a fever or chills like a normal flu or cold. These are the symptoms I've had for the last 4 weeks.
Fatigue
Sinus Pressure
Forehead Pressure
Lightheaded feeling while moving
Blood Rushes to head while moving or getting up.

I've had several tests done for Mono, Diabetes, Lyme Disease , A CT Scan for Sinus Infection an MRI and MRA, Thyroid and B diffecieny tests. As well as an allergy specialist. Everything has come up clean and I still have these symptoms. Sometimes they are really bad othertimes they seem to fade away. I'm not ruling out allergies, although I typically have no allergies what so ever. The only other symptom I've had is neck pain. I've gone to a chiropracter for several weeks and now the pain is gone, but my other symptoms remain. If anyone has any ideas what this is please help

Lastnight, I used a microcurrent electrical therapy (MET) device that attached to the earlobes... for 30 minutes. It is powered by a 9 volt battery. (MET on the ear lobes allegedly helps with insomnia, depression and anxiety.) Today, I have very slight numbness on my nose, ears, chin and cheeks. What would cause this? Could it be nerve damage? I was using it for insomnia (not depression or anxiety.... I don't have any depression or anxiety issues. )
