Let me first state that not every type 1 will ever have the same scenario in life, but I’m type 1 using the same pump she has. My wife is type 1 using the same pump she has. I’ve had my pump die on vacation, I’ve ran out of insulin on vacation. She is making this all sound highly overblown in terms of difficulties and problems faced when running into pump problems. I’ve had that same company overnight me a new pump. I’ve had to scramble to find a long acting insulin to replace the basal coming from the pump. I’m sorry if she had a particularly bad experience with all this but that article makes every step of the process sound so much worse than the reality of having a pump is.


I’m 100% with you. It just felt like an exercise in picking every little detail of existing with diabetes apart and complaining about everything. Look at living with diabetes without a pump at all compared to a decent one like the t.slim, her complaints just seem so overblown.
