Good BG control came up recently when I spoke to a few parents considing an insulin pump for their child with diabetes. I love the pump (we have the Animas One Touch Ping). Benny's been using his for more than five years and it allows flexibility and precise dosing. No shots is a nice bonus, but it's the targeted control that I really love. The pump is just a machine, though, connected to the body by what's basically a band-aid with a stick. Stuff happens. Things go wrong.
Luckily those problems are few and far between, but we had a doozy this week.
