Dear Jim,
Thanks again for this helpful information on the pump. May I ask, how are you doing with it three months later?
My mother is considering it and we are trying to learn more.
One more question -- can you eat protein during the day with the pump? One of the challenges with my mom's PD is that even the slightest amount of protein interferes with the (already poor and inconsistent) absorption of her medicine. This means that she can eat very little during the day, which poses challenges as she is already underweight.
Thanks again and best wishes to you.
