What about?:  By popular demand, we will be viewing the video of a presentation Dr. Michael Vallis did for Insulin Pumpers Canada entitled:
 
"The Psychological Paradox of a Pump"
 
Dr. Michael Vallis is frank, funny, & fantastic!  This is not beneficial just for people who are considering pump therapy, but for all people with diabetes. 
 
Consider the following remarks made by people who have seen this presentation in person or by video:
 
"Wow! I wish I had seen Dr. Vallis years ago!  I would have felt so much better about myself and my diabetes" adult with diabetes
