I Am a Diabetic On An Insulin Pump

When I was little I had four injections a day. I did them myself once I started school. When I was 13 I had my first insulin pump. It gives me tiny bits of insulin every three minutes. And when I eat I test my blood glucose and tell my pump how many grams of carb and it calculates a dose of insulin and blu tooth’s the pump to give it. I just changed the line that goes from the pump to my body and the cannula which goes into my body.

Diabetes sucks! It runs quite heavily in my family, but so far, I've not been diagnosed with it. I applaud you for sharing just a small snippet of what you and others face.....I wish you well and I pray a cure happens soon.

Thank you so much. I loved your comment. I do get depressed by it but then I get depressed because I’ve been depressed. Fact is if I’d been born 100 years ago I wouldn’t have made it into my teens. @FORMERLYbatovn
