Insulin pumps are marketed as a safe and convenient way to manage Type 1 diabetes, replacing multiple daily injections. And they're more popular than ever: an estimated 30,000 Canadians use a pump now that provincial health plans pay for them. But in the past decade, more than 100 Canadians died while wearing one. That exclusive data comes from a CBC joint investigation with the Toronto Star and Radio-Canada looking at the personal cost of insulin pumps when things go wrong.
