Question Anyone use an insulin pump?

We will be moving to TV this month and wonder if anyone living in TV uses an insulin pump. My wife has been on it for years, loves it and even now has the glucose monitor. Our problem is she needs doctors in TV who work with Medtronics pumps. Anyone know of a good endocrinologist, nephrologist, and ophthalmologist? And of course they must be in the Aetna system.

Dr S Topiwala, Premier Medical Assoc, 352-259-2159 is a fine endo dr that does Medtronics equipment and most. I can't vouch for Aetna, but my Meidcare and Tri-Care for Life works fine for all of my needs including all diabetic meds that some carriers don't cover.

I am a co-leader of an insulin pump club that meets at the Florida Hospital Waterman in Tavares. We meet on the last Monday of every month at 6:30. If you would like to meet with other pumpers, please join us!
