I Am a Diabetic On An Insulin Pump

I have been diabetic since I was little. I am 18 now and I had an insulin pump six years ago. The pump is in a pouch which clips onto my bra. And delivers insulin every three minutes. Through a cannula in my stomach.

And you're still a champion swimmer! Good on you.

Yes. I don’t let it stop me. It just takes time. Like I have to test my blood glucose before, during and after training. And have somewhere safe to put my pump when I am in the water. And have a clip to block off my cannula. It’s sort of routine for me. @Mamapolo2016

You are. Life tossed you a curve ball, and you caught it and took it in stride. That is winning.@LiliHaf
