Guest guest Posted December 10, 2002 Report Share Posted December 10, 2002 Hello everyone, I hope this finds you all having a pain free day. I have an insulin pump the mini med 508. It is great not to have to stick yourself all the time. If anyone is considering the pump here is the mini med web site. http://www.minimed.com/patientfam/index.shtml " > MiniMed Today: Diagnosed with Diabetes - Patients and Families The pump is expensive but most insurance's will cover the cost, and with mini med they ship all your supplies to your door so you don't have to worry about trying to get to the pharmacy. Hope this helps. Lots of Love and Hugs, Tammy - TN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
