I just wanted to comment that the pumps infusion set is not "permanently" attached. The tiny flexible plastic catheter is thinner than the post on an earring and is 1/8" long, you inject it normally into your abdomen and change the site every 3 days. You put it in and you take it out, it's easy and doesn't hurt any more than any other needle injection. |
Thank you for telling me that. I do try and go along to my daughter's Dr's appointments but I missed the one where they explained to her how the pump works and is attached. I just know @ the time she said, she didn't want that and I knew she already had a lot on her mind with her college studies so I didn't persue that anymore with her.
We both have daughters that are/will be 22 this year and both have Type 1 Diabetes. I might just be PM'ing you with some questions on the pump
