With your generous contributions, Insulin Pumpers and
Insulin Pumpers Foundation have assisted more than
20105
individuals and families with the everyday problems of living with diabetes.
Your donations support the Insulin Pumpers forums and web site and provide a place to turn to for
answers to questions that can be answered best only by other people with diabetes.
For those who live with diabetes, we know first hand that it is a full-time job, on top of all the other obligations
of work and family. While our lives may appear to be normal to outsiders, they are anything but.
Insulin Pumpers provides a community
of thousands of people who have lived through the same frustrations, difficulties, and joys. They
congratulate one another on their hbA1c's. They vent their frustrations on dealing with the
insurance industry and provide counsel on how to get claims paid. They compare blood sugar
meters and test strips. They answer questions about, how to set basal rates, and what to do with
the pump while scuba diving. And they give encouragement to those who are thinking about the
pump or just starting to use one.
To someone without diabetes this list of items may seem fairly trivial. That's exactly why the
Insulin Pumpers forum is so important. People with diabetes and those who use an insulin pump
think about these things every day! The questions themselves may at times be trivial, the fact
that the Insulin Pumpers support forums can get them answered is not.
Insulin Pumpers depends on the generosity of donors and sponsors to fund
these services for you.
Each donation is vital, whether it is given by a sponsor, in a bequest, or dollar-by-dollar.
