Anyone who knows the challenges of living with T1D, the most accurate explanation of day to day life is basically riding a 24/7 rollercoaster that you can’t get off. There’s no cure for T1D and it’s an extremely difficult disease to manage. However, living with T1D you quickly learn the meaning of responsibility and that managing the disease is your only choice if you want to survive.
I consider myself pretty old school, especially with treatments. No way was I going to trust a machine to keep me alive. When I finally had the courage to explore more options for insulin therapy, I found that the insulin pump, which has been around for years, is really a major asset for a T1D to have a better quality of life.
