Can anyone recommend a diabetes discussion forum if there is such a thing? I would like to see what people are saying about insulin pumps. Good, bad?

I am recently diagnosed Type 2. It is an education in itself. I considered it a victory to find a painless injection site. A place to exchange imformation would be great.

I've had too many close calls with insulin. Tonight was one of them. My sugar dropped into the low 40's. My heart felt like it was going to pop. Now i have a high pitch ringing in my head.

Mica and Daffy, greatly missed
I had two coworkers with type 1, they both use pumps. They seem to like them better than regular injections, but one still got really low blood sugar sometimes.

RIP Gandalf and Big Bird, you are missed.
Hate to point in this direction, but there are many, many FB groups for every facet of diabetes!

Good point David! Despite wicked reputation of FB, specialized topical "member only" pages are generally good to excellent.
