Hello Fellow Pumpers!
We look forward to seeing you in person if you are in the San Diego area or via Zoom.
Check out our newsletter and diabetes resources on our blog at sdinsulinpumpers.blogspot.com.
IN PERSON: We hold our in-person meeting at the Sharp Spectrum Building in Kearny Mesa at 8695 Spectrum Center Drive from 7–9 pm. We have a new meeting space at the Sharp Spectrum building. Starting in January 2025 we moved to a new boardroom. It is on the left side of the main lobby and has an outside direct entrance from the parking lot. The room will open at 6:30 pm for visiting before the meeting. The walkway to the outside entrance is located in front of the handicap parking and has a railing along the sidewalk.
VIA ZOOM: Please join us via Zoom if you can't attend in person. The meeting link is posted below. As always, significant others, friends, and family supporters are welcome at the meeting.
We hold our meetings on the 2nd Monday of every month from 7-9 pm.

Volunteers Needed
The newsletter will not be emailed until a volunteer can take over the newsletter distribution. Starting in June the newsletter will be posted on our blog, sdinsulinpumpers.blogspot.com by the 5th each month. It will include the meeting information and Zoom link. We need help managing the distribution of our monthly pump club newsletter. A volunteer is creating a new mailing list which should be available for use by October. The new mailing list is now available. This task could be shared among more than one person. Newsletter distribution is done the first week of every month, usually by the 5th. Contact Margi with any questions: margit7@att.net.

LAST MONTH: Luke Bailey, Territory Business Leader of the Twiist AID Pump, and Heather Lamar RDN, CDCES SR, Clinical Diabetes Specialist, spoke about the newest pump available. The new Twist pump can be ordered through your insurance pharmacy benefit. The pump can be partnered with the Dexcom, Libre3, and Eversense sensors. The Twiist pump has a 300-unit reservoir and can be worn on the body in an adhesive patch. It can be operated through the iPhone and Apple watch. The Twiist AID system is by Tidepool and is approve for Humalog and Novalog insulin. Check out the Twiist page on our blog for Luke and Heater's contact information and link to more Twiist Pump information.
