This past March marked my 8 year anniversary living with Type 1. So far, (knocks on wood) I have avoided major complications such as DKA and all that scary stuff. So I'm proud of myself for that. However, I still have a long way to go-as in the rest of my life. I hear how the insulin pump is great and will help make things easier. So why, you might think, haven't you gotten the damn thing already? My retort to that is I haven't felt ready and you can't rush these things. During my past visit to the endocrinologist (specialist who deals with endocrine disorders; diabetes, thyroid, etc) the good doctor made it clear he was not happy with me. I believe I made it clear I wasn't thrilled with him at the moment, either. He wants me to get a CGM-continuous glucose monitor. Once again, I hear how much it will help me and how good it is. But the idea of going around with a pager like device attached to me is not that appealing.
