I've been on the pump for around 4 years now. I gained 10 lbs and its hard finding locations on my body to place the infusion. I welcome any suggestions.

I'm a diabetic for 36 years and been on the pump for 3 years. I have the medtronic mini-med. I like it. I do have problems now and then. Sometimes the skin around the injection area gets inflamed and the insulin cannot absorb as it should. I'm also trying to find new spots on my body for the pump because I think I'm running out of space on my stomach.

I am a diabetes educator and would like to learn more about life on the pump from those who use it. I've learned more about diabetes from my patients than I have in school, so I look forward to chatting with everyone!

Hello. I've had Type I diabetes since 1985 and just started pumping one week ago today. I use an Animas 2020 and really like it. I've started a blog about my pump at http://thesweetlife247.wordpress.com

Nice post. I'm a guy, we don't know how to wrap. That's why we pay the people at the Department stores to do it.....:)

By Becky Striepe, Green Options There are lots of ecofriendly gift wrap options out there if you’re feeling the traditional, paper wrapping thing. If you want to branch out a bit, though, you might try wrapping some gifts this year using the trad…
