That’s fantastic news! Yeah! I’ve had my pump for a little over 4 years and it has really changed (for the better) my managment of my type 1.

I hope Lance does get his pump. It will make both of your lives much easier.
I have just recently started on the pump and I love the freedom it has given me as well as better control.
