[Diabetes-talk] talking insulin pump?

[Veronica Elsea]

Oh Cheryl! This is just so crazy! I know I'm curious to see what 
Prodigy folks think we want in a pump. I've been on a pump for 19 
years now and wouldn't go back to MDI for anything. I just had to get 
a new one last year and in investigating the different pumps out 
there, I found quite a variety of approaches and feature lists. I'm 
sad to say that my favorite pump no longer can be bought. It has some 
of the simplest advanced features I've seen on a pump. Granted, I 
can't use them all, but the way I can program different basal 
patterns, set up temporary basals, set up different bolus rates for 
different times of the day, and make use of insulin on board and 
other things is just, well, spoiling me. Of course, sighted pump 
users have food data bases built right in and all sorts of fun stuff.
So, in short, I hope we get a real adult pump, not a talking toy. <grin.>
