(ONLY for diabetics who use insulin pumps)?
Hey there! I was just wondering, what is the best and worst slice about changing your insulin pump and how long does it usually take? I be also wondering, what pump do you use and are there any disadvantages about them? Thanx!
Answers: I am a type 1 on a pump and I have be pumping for 9 yrs. I did not want a pump till my friend got 1 and I saw it working for her. I could not give up my pump today. The control is so much better. The only disadvantage is when I swim I give somebody a lift it off. (no really disadvantage ) I use The Medtronic Paradigm pump. I change my site about every 3-4 days and it merely takes about 10 minutes maybe smaller number. I know I could not live without my pump and would not want to
My son is a pumper. The best part about varying the pump site is that it is easy, seems to hurt less than a shot, and individual has to be done every three days. It takes a few seconds to do.
not a pumper (but am hoping to get one soon). If you want info on insulin pumps go to www.tudiabetes.com its a community for diabetics and at hand are lots of members there who asked the same -and other different questions- so you might find it devoted.
Hope I Helped!
