The MiniMed Paradigm Insulin Pump: Brent’s insulin pump requires him to relocate the infusion site every 3 days in a fatty area. Yes, he says it does hurt. He does not use the MiniLink Wireless Transmitter. However, he has used it once for “testing”, and he said, “It hurts way to bad.” The transmitter has to be in a vein (much longer needle), so it can take a glucose reading at random, which in turn sends it via infrared to the insulin pump. The downside is you STILL HAVE TO DO FINGER-PRICKS to compare. (ok, why go through double-trouble..ouch)

This video is now almost 2 full years old. Thorwald is six now. We’re still using a medtronic Paradigm pump, and real-time sensors. Thanks to the pump and regular glucose control, we have yet to have a hypoglycemic seizure happen!
Thank you all SO MUCH for your kind comments!

See how the Animas Ping insulin pump and Ping meter communicate via wireless technology to bolus insulin. Great technology that helps me deal with diabetes every day in an easier way. No more pulling my pump out to take insulin, the meter will tell the pump to give me insulin based on my blood sugar reading and how much insulin I tell the pump to give me.

This shocking story may save your life....
I Turned My Husband Into A Human Guinea Pig…
And Banished His Diabetes For Good!
After champagne and wedding cake, my diabetic husband crashed
to the floor. As the ambulance pulled away, I made up my mind to
wage war on diabetes.
Only after years of research am I now making my findings
available. And you won’t believe what I’ve uncovered…
“Somebody Call An Ambulance!”
Even though diabetes ran in my family, I’d never given it much thought. Both my grandmother and my cousin had diabetes… but the disease had never hit home for me.
But that all changed on my wedding night. I knew my husband had diabetes, but I didn’t realize how serious the disease could be.
Until I Watched His Eyes Roll Up Into The Back Of His Head
On the most important night of my life, my husband crashed to the floor. Turns out, he had a bit too much cake and champagne and that caused his glucose levels to spike.
I learned a LOT about diabetes that night… but diabetes was about to learn a lot about ME in the coming years.
Hell Hath No Fury Like A Woman Scorned…
