[Diabetes-Talk] Lyumjev just approved by FDA for use in insulin pumps

[d m gina]

This is crazy,
even my doctor doesn't understand.
In the fall and threw the winter months, I just go outside, and my 
sugars will drop.
He said he hadn't seen this before.
I crack up.
We have to adjust that it doesn't go to low.
Smile,
Dar
