When #omnipod sings you it's death song 10h before it's due to expire... You break out all the gadgets and get a new artificial pancreas working again, stat! 🙄😑💦🎗️💉 💙👣💙 #insulinpump #insulinpumper #podfail #sitefailure #insulindependent #t1d #neonataldiabetes #monogenicdiabetes #infantsandinsulin #t1dtoddler #typeonediabetes #type1diabetes

Alright so, it's 10 minutes to 5am where I am and about 10-15 mins ago my pump was giving me an alarm and told me to call Animas tech support to fix it. Little fact about me; I have really bad phone-based anxiety. I hate making phone calls with a bloody passion and every time I have to make a call I panic and freak out. So I was able to call without having a breakdown so I am incredibly proud of myself right now! Now, if you'll all excuse me, it's high time I (at least attempt to) get some sleep! 🌙

*please ignore my disgustingly fat and scarred tummy* today I went to the doctors and they gave me a new type of pump site. For those who don't know, I've had a lot of trouble with my previous sites and it's been giving me major anxiety and stress. So, they gave me this, and I can honestly say that this new site is less stressful and less painful. I hope this works out for me :)

...my attempt at telling the real truth about life as a Type 1 Diabetic. First thing I can say is that I'm my own worst enemy. I know what to do. I've known since I was 12, I just don't follow directions in this area of my life for some reason. Control? I should be in control, but I let it control me. This part of me comes last....after everyone else is taken care of. After work, after the dogs, after my friends and the sometimes boyfriend. Right now I'm sick of it all.
