Insulin Pump Users

One who cares

Friends,
I’ve been lurking and trying to follow the latest threads of
discussion, and to be honest, you guys have me totally confused.
I enjoy the stuff that Jan post the most (IMHO), but several other
folks also impress me as being very knowledgable and well informed.
Couple of things to offer to the list:

the titled recommended to me, have read it through several times, and am

For anyone wanting to improve driving vision:
For night driving, headlight glare is greatly reduced by wearing a very
