using an insulin pump has a few things that are associated wiht it. First you shoudl be able to handle it. second your disbetes has to be out of ocontro even with your normal care, such as brittle or juvenile needs. And third yo ahve to be willing tobe attached.

Once you get apump, which you can get direct from the cmpany through the pateint partnership program, or through RX access, the price is very small. Theinsulin you use however is limited, R, NpH. 70/30 are the ones most widely used and are relatively easiy to afford and get.

My lantus is not useable in it, nor is byetta( a much talked about insulin), Humulins and humuoogs are insulins of choice.
I have thought about pumping but my control is not that bad and I am able to keep a tight reign on it with bolus of R every now and then.. especially this Halloweena dn the upcomng Thanksgiving oh an heaven forbid the multiple shots during Chanukah!!!!!!!!!!
