The "Diabetic Device" Section. by ShadowSystems2012-06-24 14:43:26
  Could color-sampling and this tattoo help? by magpie492012-12-13 23:32:57
    That, and it involves a tattoo... by ShadowSystems2012-12-14 18:27:41

          Thank you. Came up with more questions by magpie49 2012-12-20 20:33:33
and did more searching.

Found something called an Omnipod from a company called Insulet.

They make a small insulin pump (the pod) that fastens to the injection site with waterproof adhesive, so you can swim or shower or play in whatever aqueous liquids. The pod contains the needle and the reservoir and the pump. The OTHER half of the gadget is a hand held thing they call a PDM (personal diabetic manager, I think it was) which reminds me of a smart phone. The smart-phone thingy instructs the pod when and how much insulin to inject.

I called the phone number I found on the site and talked to a customer service rep. I asked if the PDM talks. Short answer is no, not currently. He's going to talk to their research and development people and get answers for some of my other questions, then get back to me.
