As a type 1 pump wearer, I would just like to point out that there is no "bad" or "good" version of insulin dependent diabetes. It is like being pregnant. you either ARE or you are not. An insulin pump is used to administer insulin in a more precise way, much like tweezers are used to remove a splinter, rather than salad tongs...

This poor kid. Me, as an old lady, I know better than to even talk to the thugs at TSA....just opt me out, feel my boobies, swab my hands after you make me fondle the device you find "hidden" in my bra, and let me go disinfect myself!
