Howdy:

i'm still new here and trying to decipher some of the things i'm reading. i'm in the process of shopping for a new pump and don't understand what some of the initials mean:

CGMS - i know this has something to do with counting carbs but could someone let me know what those initials mean and what these things do? why would i want and/or need one? i haven't had one for 20 years and i'm doing great, but i'm curious and open to change ...

DP - don't have the faintest idea what this means .... dead plants, dipping petunias, diabetic patient, don't point??

MDI - multiple daily injections?

are there any other initials i should understand?

oh, i've edited this in: i'm confused about the computer hook-up stuff, can anyone summarize for me what it does, how it works, what are its benefits. the pump companies assume i know what it is and i have no idea. it seems some companies have more than others but i'm having a heck of time sorting the technology end of thing.

thanks for your help.
