Holly, I would keep the Medic Alert membership.  It's only $15.00 per 
year.  Remember they keep a list of all current medications, and can be 
told about your pump.  You can make it known to them that it is NOT TO BE 
DISCONNECTED by anyone.  they have your Doc's name and number, plus other 
contact information.  Thank god, I've never had to use their service, but I 
feel better knowing it's available.
