Re: [IPu] Fw: [IP] Re: pump size
Like Shirley, when choosing my pump, one of the major pluses was the size of
the screen.
I have recently switched to a smaller sized pump and, while it does many
more things than my old pump, it is quite abit smaller although the screen
is the same size. The actual size of the pump doesn't worry me at all,
infact I enjoy being asked "whats that?" as it then gives me a chance to
explain how wonderful it is and what a difference it's made to my
life....give me the opportunity and I'll rave on for hours. As a consequence
I have influenced 5 people within 1 year, to trial a pump, all of them ended
up buying one.
I know not everyone likes others to see/know what their pump is used for,
but I'm different! I enjoy spreading the word and don't consider it a
problem.
