Hi family, Been rather busy this last week and finally checking email. Just want to tell you my grandson Cory has a very good friend who has had the pump since he was 8 and does wonderfully with it. He checks his blood every few hours and adjusts the pump to give himself the correct dose of insulin. It works wonderfully for him - he swims, surfs, skateboards etc. - all the normal things kids his age do.
