Gerri commented on worried mom's blog post 'cost of pumps'"A pump isn't a magical solution to highs or lows. Fine tuning your bolus & basal is successful in taming numbers. You can also try lowering carbs. Smaller insulin doses correspond to less swings."
Nancy commented on worried mom's blog post 'Having trouble keeping sugar level HELP'"I have an extra pump and lots of supplies to go with and would love to get rid of them. Once you get use to it You will love it. It will also cut your insulin intake in half. It's Great!"
