The local Lions Club is hosting a community breakfast to help a Windsor man maintain his independence.
Patrick Boutilier was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes in 1992. Before the Windsor Lions Club helped him purchase his first insulin pump in 2006, Patrick required five needles a day, in his stomach or legs, to manage his diabetes.
Patrick, who was born deaf, relies on the insulin pump to maintain his eyesight and independence. The $7,000 piece of equipment works 24 hours a day to regulate his blood sugar levels, preventing highs and lows that make it hard to complete everyday tasks.

Blimey! That sounds like a good pump, wonder what type it is? 🙄🙄
