Today's topic is probably one of my favorite in the whole world! Pump Therapy. While it can be a time of complete fear and joy, the journey to it is amazing. I honestly cannot remember much of life before a pump. And from what I do remember it sucks. My journey to a pump was weird. It started at a Pump Weekend at Barton. But even before then I was ready. I knew I was soo done with shots. I hated having to stop everything to give a stupid shot. That's not even normal. The pump was the perfect solution for a On-The-Go-Girl. After getting my pump it was proven correct. No more stupid shots, I could give insulin when I needed to. And it was always in my pocket! I thought I was the coolest. Plus I was able to eat whatever I wanted. It was a life that was so different for me. Needless to say instead of having to stop my life I continued to go!
Looking back on the almost 9 years of pump therapy I'm amazed. I now wear a Minimed Revel. I like to call it the rebel though. I use the Continuos glucose monitor too, sometimes. But I'll talk about that at another time. So Here's to pump therapy. Try it, you'll love it!
Here's To Year 15!
