That's an awesome article, Cinnabon! It looks like the media finally made some nice (& more accurate) comments regarding Diabetes....Thanks for sharing it! :thumbsup:

Two tubes connect? Where does the second one go?

Other than that, article was really good. Maybe I should show my parents.

On that, they could have meant it has a disconnect (depending on what type of set he's using - some have "tails"), or that he has the 722 pump (from the pic, the pump appears to be a 700 series, but cannot tell exactly which one per the screen, cause his hand is covering it). If he has the 722 (which is approved in Canada), then the tubes are one for the set & the other for the CGMS (though I didn't see that on him, either. :s: ).

interesting aticle having trouble understanding the tube thing. CGMS should have been hooked up via bluetooth technology, to bad pumps arent equipped with it

Nice article and that's pretty cool what they are doing with helping in additional funding. Too bad the US doesn't help like that, oh wait, we have to spend money on wars and other useless items.

I just read that article. It was inspiring in terms of the "mini pumpers" and encouraging in terms of the government of these United States! I have been a teacher for a long time and I am comfortable with kids.(I hope that they say the same about me!) I have been pumping since 2005, diabetic since 1967. Interestingly, I have never had a diabetic child in my class-let alone a pumper. I would like to work with a child and his parents. We could all help each other. I am not sure that I am posting this in the right place. Oh well--Yvonne

I don't know the situation in which you teach, grade/subject, school system size, etc., and I don't know how comfortabale you are with the school system's administration, but couldn't you volunteer to take diabetic children in your class?
I'm sure the mothers here in the Forum would love to have you as a teacher for their diabetic child.
