I inject myself 5 times a day right now. It's been mostly 2-4 times for the past 33 years. The insulin pump actually acts like a pancreas, it delivers insulin based on continuousness blood monitoring...

 

Right now I have to jab my fingers 4-5 times a day to monitor it. The pump will take something like 288 readings throughout the day. The cost, well um lets just say, I could easily buy two 58Lps' and a nice Marshall lol

ahh man that is so unjust, maybe they will find a way that you can have a "top up" once a month and also monitor at that time also? [mellow]

haha ya that would be Stem cell replacement. Still a few years away but they are making head way on it now. I still say the pharmaceutic companies will put an end to it, too much money to be lost if they actual cured a disease..just sayin lol
