Close to 26 million people in this country have diabetes, including one in every 400 children. For years, the only choice those with insulin-dependent diabetes had was to wear an insulin pump with tubes. But, they can sometimes tangle up and embarrass the user... or get in the way of enjoying activities. Now, the world's first tubeless insulin pump is changing that. Robyn Haines has your Healthy Living.
9-year-old Parker Gregory doesn't let anything slow him down. While Parker is full of life, he was diagnosed at age 6 with a deadly disease: type 1 diabetes. But parker is a fighter, and thanks to the world's first tubeless insulin pump... Parker gets to act like any other kid his age. With a traditional pump tubing carries life-saving insulin to the body... the Omnipod, which is waterproof, delivers insulin without tubes or shots for up to three days.
And it's all controlled wirelessly through this hand-held device. Incredibly, parker's family found out he had diabetes when ants began congregating in the bathroom. They were attracted to the high levels of sugar in parker's urine and prompted his parents to test his glucose levels.
