I have been on the insulin pump now for ten years of my life! I was diagnosed with type one Diabetes when I was nine years old, a year later I got the pump. From that point on I have never been diconnected from the pump for more than an hour or two because of swimming or whatever.
So now I have decided to try the shots again. I will be taking 4-6 shots a day, with one shot of long lasting insulin at night. I just took my pump off and it feels great! :) I feel freedom- like I need to go jump on a slip-N-slide or just roll around on the floor!
But yea.. tonight will be my first night being unconnected from my pump in years... and I am excited! It may seem werid I am excited to start taking shots again. They just hurt less and for this time in my life seem like the right choice for me. These next few weeks will be a trial run before I go back to the doctor to make decision on to go back on the pump or not. So I will keep you updated on what I think!
I am so ecxited to toss and turn all night without worrying about my pump!!!! It's the simple things in life...
