go to pumping insulin in the forums. They are small like a beeper and the procedure you refered to is one you do yourself...doesn't hurt. It is almost like inserting an IV but you don't get a blood vein.

It is like taking a shot and a few other small thing that go attached to it. you only do this 1 time every 3 days. It has so many advantages its amazing.. If you "google it" you will find a lot of info. Im on a Minimed 715.

One site that I have found helpful in my research is www.diabetesnet.com. Scroll over technology and insulin pumps. That should help you.
