Question
Lately I have been having glucose swings. I was wondering if the Diabetic Pump is better at stablizing glucose levels. Is it more sanitary and effective? Since I routinely go to the gym, does it interfere with a weight lifting program? Does a pump make managing diabetes easier?Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions. I am trying my best to control this horrible disease.

Answer

Dear Sam,

We appreciate your inquiry.  Please follow the link below for information on:

Diabetic pumps are safe, sanitary, and effective.  For the athlete, they are an efficient way to manage diabetes.  However, it is highly advisable that you seek the advice of your physician or diabetic specialist to consider the best options for your individual case.
