How sick is a person if they wear an insulin pump?
If someone wears an insulin pump then they are a type one diabetic and that that is how they choose to take their insulin (instead of shots, they'd rather just "bolus" by telling the pump to deliver them insulin via infusion set). It does not mean that they are any more or less sick than anyone else with type 1 diabetes. Most people with type 1 diabetes live a normal life, despite the constant blood sugar testing and giving themselves insulin. It is a manageable disease that is made somewhat easier to keep in check by the wonderful invention of the insulin pump. Again, just because someone wears one doesn't mean that they are dying or that they are any sicker than someone else with the disease. It's just their choice of insulin delivery. :)
