I am not a physician, but the mom of a type one diabetic. I have not heard of any correlation between type one and your problem. I would suggest that your contact the jdrf.org on line diabetes support team they might have some one on there team that would be better to help you.
I would suggest you try to get insurance even if it is thru Medicaid. When you do get insurance you will most likely have a pre existing clause which means that they will not pay for at least 1 year even when you get insurance.
we have use the remote for the 508 when our daughter was on it. the only place to get the remote that works with the pumps is thru minimed. they are defenitly worth the investment.
