After 19 years on this #t1d journey, decided to embark full-time on the continuous glucose sensor for the convenience it affords. Only just a year or so back when I decided to get started on the insulin pump too, as I've avoided it for the longest time due to my dislike of having devices, needles, or tubing stuck on me. Somehow, I caved. Despite it being a rather tricky first few months, my body finally stabilised and got used to the pump (sort of), and it has helped to relieve some of the daily mental calculations, test and insulin jab preparations etc. Honestly, the convenience and support it provides does outweigh its higher costs, at least for now while I can still afford it. And look where I am now, not one but two devices stuck on me! On a side note, it does in its little way provide opportunities for me to help raise awareness when people notice the sensor and ask about it. So am more than happy for this added positive too! Decided to note down this moment as a reminder of how far I've come in this journey. Perhaps also as a helpful throwback in future when things get a little wonky again, and there are some hoops to push through. Meanwhile, here's to working towards better blood glucose control, and hopefully an easier and happier journey for health! #diabetes #awareness #healthiswealth (at Singapore 新加坡) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkLfnBRSsjsheBE0rjTOcWja_XiD1IBxh4zmq00/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
