Potential New Pump for William


Here is a picture of the pump William wears now.
Here is some information about a new insulin pump system for William. http://www.myomnipod.com/products/ Here Ruthy is testing out "how it feels" to wear it. As with the old pump, the sight has to be changed every 3 days. However, the insertion process and the reliablility of insulin is supposedly more accurate, painless and therefore less traumatic than the other for him. It is also less hazardous because there is no tubing involved, and a remote control can control directions to the pump. Since he is young and active, we are hoping this will fit into his lifestyle much better.
