[Diabetes-talk] wearing your pump

[d m gina]

When you buy a pump is it like buying the meter, you must keep it for 
five years before you change it out?
As long as everything is working correctly?
I put a call in this morning to one of the ladies we know who works 
with Humana.
to make sure they would cover a pump.
