> > pump and the fact that there was no interest in producing one by insulin
> > pump companies. The website for the Pump Mate is www.pump-mate.com
> > James is trying to get Medtronic Minimed's cooperation and support in
> > developing and producing the Pump Mate. It would be great if those who 
> > are
> > interested could contact Minimed to express interest in the pump mate 
> > and
> > desire that Minimed would help to market and produce it.
> > With the Pump Mate, it is possible to program basal rates, use the Bolis
> > Wizzard, and hear test results from the meters that Minimed has
> > specifically designed to transfer data to and from the insulin pump. 
> > This
> > has amazing potential since the Pump Mate could someday be used in
> > conjunction with the continuous glucose monitoring system.
> > I have pasted James's contact information below, and I am sending him a
