A friend was diagnosed with type 1. Was automatically told he's going on the pump. He's freaking out and I didnt' know what to tell him because I just take "by mouth" medicine. HELP me? __________________ The heart can know no worries in this calm and peaceful place where summer reigns in splendor a smile upon her face:where sun and sea and sky combine to bring one nearer.And folks don't call it "heaven" but the next best thing.CAPE COD.

I'm sure he will get a good pump trainer and have no problems. It does take a while to get used to working it, but once that is worked out he will love it. They will usually give you about 6 weeks of training. Sharon __________________ Sharon from Arizona Pumping with humalog since August, 2009

Hi Firerose, Suggest he go to a support group. Meeting others who are starting out can be very helpful. Ask him to see if his hospital runs any groups for newly diagnosed patients. Janis __________________ Janis Roszler, MSFT, RD, CDE, LD/N Follow me on twitter: @dearjanis
