      Have diabetes since I was 17. I'm now 53. My main complaint is since I got it I have gain 60 pounds. It seems that I just can't lose weight. I do exercise and watch my eating. All my doctors say for as long as I had diabetes I'm in good health. I've been on the insulin pump for around 3 years. Its Ok and I do like it better than taken the shots. I was up to 5 shots a day.

      Treatments

      Insulin Pump Working / Worked
      My A1C's have been high lately, the doctor put a blood moniter in me to check my sugar every 5 minutes. They found where I needed more insulin. I won't know until my next blood test ( in 2 months) to see if the adjustment worked.
      Symlin Working / Worked
      I don't think I needed it when I was put on this medication. I think now that my body is use to the shot I can't get off it.
