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

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.  ).

| | | 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'm sure the mothers here in the Forum would love to have you as a teacher for their diabetic child. |
