    I like it a lot! There are several other brands that are really good too. They all do pretty much the same thing so I can’t really say that I personally prefer one brand over another.

    No, they have them in the UK too. Ask your nurse. You do have to pay a little more attention with the pump but it offers so much more flexibility and control that it’s well worth the trouble.

    hi just came across your video, im a type 1 diabetic im from ireland, contracted it 3 years ago so same age as when you got it. i’ve never seen this insulin pump here at all im still on an insulin pen four times a day. is this pump just mostly in america cos ive never been told about it by my diabetic nurse, maybe we’re just not as advanced over here or we dont have the money to introduce it. is the pump harder to get used to than the normal method?
