Pumping Mamas..! I like it

My Endo. is actually past retirement age but although a classic old school doctor he is pretty good at keeping up to date. When I wanted to start the pump, the Minimed rep. said that he wouldn't even talk to them... felt that pumps were just another money-making scheme. Anyhow I marched in with an armful of paperwork and laid it out for him what I wanted to do and why. No problem! In fact, at each six month checkup he proudly tells me how many more pumpers he has now
