It is partially true. (My friend's child is diabetic.) 1.) You still have to find a source for the shoot-yourself-in-the-thigh insulin, which is harder than it used to be, 2.) shoot-yourself-in-the-thigh is genuinely inferior to pump insulin as far as blood sugar regulation, and it's also not something you can just switch back and forth between when you're a little short on cash, and 3.) the cost of pump insulin by itself has still skyrocketed unreasonably, independent of the price of thigh insulin or how many people are using which one.
