Thank you for the reply, and insight. Where to keep
the "accoutraments" is now something I also need to give thought to.
Any ideas? I won't be actively on the pump until Sept 13th. So I
have a week to figure this out. Any & All suggestions will be
greatly appreciated. I prefer to pro-activley deal with these
scenarios vs. reactively. Planning and prepatation will help me
adapt to a different lifestyle.

With regard to Yehuda's question to my comment - since my body's
blood cells don't absorb glucose without insulin injections, that
means that without medication, my body in theory, is actually fasting
all the time - in it's natural state. As a matter of fact, shortly
after I was first diagnosed, and before it was know I was insulin
resistant, I remember eating 1 Pint of IceCream, drinking 1 Quart of
Orange Juice, and eating a 16oz steak, and I still was loosing
weight. It was so bad, that I began seeing ribs, and bones on my
abdomen that I hadn't seen in years. Thus my case in point, and and
explanation as to what/why my Rebbe probably made his comment.

Looking forward to your replies -

Allen
