Or does that picture of a trim, washboard tummied model with a insulin pump on her belly remind me of those Catheter commercials on TV?

Yes, yes it does.

You know those annoying ads, the ones where this young nurse comes on the TV and says: "This is a catheter," while holding it up to the camera with a smile. She's then followed by some attractive looking woman who says something on the lines of, "I love my catheter!" With a friendly wink.

Yeah, THOSE commercials. Ugh. Catheters on TV--and they're sexy, TOO!


Sorry to be tangental, but, well, I couldn't help it.

Yea... but aren't you glad they chose the attractive skinny girl for this picture instead of a cellulite bean bag belly jelly role horse woman picture representative of probably 70 percent of the women in america?

I like my women like I like my chicken, with a 'lil bit of fat on the end...more cushion for the pushing?

And besides isn't closer to 50% who are tons of fun? Everyone goes whaling at least's like riding a moped, fun to do, but you don't want to be seen by your friends...etc etc etc.

What was this article about? Pumping things? giggity

RE: Is it just me...

Yes, myself for example.

I weigh 195pounds and am 1.81m or roughly 6 feet tall.
And you are wrong to say they are thin at all.
The insulin you inject makes you a bit thicker also.

Would be glad if they continued research to find an option.

Weren't some exploits published for these devices?



a few years later.


Going way out on a limb here

I think the old dude in the photo, Wilford Brimley, does commercials for type 2 diabetes treatments.

He was in John Carpenter's The Thing. So if he had type 2 diabetes at that time did The Thing also end up with it?
