the pump?

Posted on January 25, 2011 at 3:28pm 5 Comments

Hello, I have had diabetes for 16 yrs now and have never wanted anything to do with it, but things have changed. anyway..I'm looking into the pump..Right now I take 3-4 shots a day. I am trying to get my sugars under better control and I feel the pump could help me with this. what are some suggestions and can you tell me more about the pump? when I was younger I was scared of it, I'm sure things have changed since then. So I'm looking for more info :) Thanks
