Insulin Pump Therapy: Is It Right for You?

CAMBRIDGE, Ohio, Sept. 23, 2010 – Jump in the swimming pool, eat at a restaurant and enjoy a good night’s rest without worrying about your blood glucose level or insulin injections with insulin pump therapy. Insulin pump therapy helps make the daily routine of living with diabetes a lot easier and more convenient.

On Oct. 11, join David Whetzel from the Animas Corporation, the insulin pump division of Johnson & Johnson, as he discusses the benefits of insulin pump therapy and breaking away from injections at Community HealthLink, 1205 Clark St., in Cambridge, from 6-7 p.m.

“Injecting insulin multiple times a day can be time consuming and inconvenient,” said Cindy Fisher, RN, BSN, an outpatient diabetes educator at Southeastern Med. “Insulin pump therapy is a great alternative and in many cases, provides improved blood glucose control.”

Southeastern Med and Animas Corporation are both proud sponsors of the event. Light refreshments will be provided. Registration is required. For more information or to register, please call 740-435-2946.
