Being on an insulin pump

I have a pump that puts insulin into my body every three minutes. It clips onto the side of my bra and a line goes to a cannula in my tummy. When I have food I calculate the carbs and do a blood test and my handset calculates the insulin I need and blu tooths it to the pump which pumps it in.

Have you tried the omnipod pump? It's tubeless, and you still can connect it to your phone.
Also, have you tried Dexcom? That too can run off your phone, plus no finger sticking.

@LostAtsea My friend in swimming club has a device on her arm that reads her blood glucose and pumps in what insulin she needs. Things get better all the time. When I was 5 I had to inject insulin into my thigh with a syringe four times a day.

@LilirWyddfa Most definitely! The studies with glucose and measurements in food, plus A1C levels are all being improved every day.

@LostAtsea I know. And I know I must be grateful even though I get so frustrated when I go hypo all the time.

@LilirWyddfa one and the same with a slight twist. ..Halfchar or something like that.

@DeWayfarer I know Blodyn. You are an ignorant little man.

@LilirWyddfa and I know lilihafchar as well. Nice renaming yet that VIP gives you away along with being from Wales! All three being from Wales is extremely slim! All three with VIP as well impossible! All three with some kind of attachment disability, infinitely impossible!
