I Am Disabled

My pancreas doesn’t work. I wear a pump. It pumps insulin into me every three minutes. But I have to test my blood glucose about twelve times a day. And tell my pump how much grams of carbohydrate I am about to consume. And tell it if I am about to swim or just been swimming. If I am premenstrual. It needs to know everything! It’s a hidden disability.

Not all disabilities are visible. I’m right there with you! Hypoglycemic, hip dysplasia, and arthritis. Thank goodness for my service dog for my sugar

[@yes!!!! Get with your dr and find a local service dog trainer.

Thank you. My body is covered with sensors. A dog may do it better. My friend at school would want one!

I love that your dog can help you! I am really skating on the thin ice between ok and hypo. My sensor is red line a lot. @Soramarie
