Diabetic pump

[Abbygerrardx]

Hey, I'm new to this website thingy, so I'm still trying to figure stuff out. I was diagnosed with diabetes type 1 around 2 and a half months ago. Some of the nurses I've seen at clinic have mentioned about the diabetic pump, but they haven't gone into too much detail. I was just wondering if anyone could give me any advice, pro's and con's and whether the pump is worth while. Thankyou)

Hi Abby

Have a look in the Insulin Pump Forum area. Have a read first and then ask any questions in there perhaps?

I suspect you mean an insulin pump Having a diabetic pump plus your own diabetes to manage would be the pits lol.

I've read a few websites about the insulin pimp but I'm not too sure if it seems ideal. Just wondering if anyone had it and could give any advice. Thankyou
