[Diabetes-Talk] travel and diabetes in public

[Bernadette Jacobs]

Dar, I was actually talking about the Vgo insulin pump thing. You have to fill the cartridge with insulin from a vile before you can put it on. So, what I was saying is, if the Vigo comes off then you have lost all that insulin that is in the pump. Because it will not stick to you again and you will have to throw it away. That’s what I was talking about last week. Hopefully you understand this better.
