  • Insulin pump makes man's life easier to manage

    "That's not always easy to do, especially when you are younger. You have to watch what you eat and remember your shots. I didn't want to do it when I was 18."

    Manners received an Accucheck insulin pump about two months ago. He was the first person to have the procedure done at TRH.
