An insulin pump was the best thing for mine to ever happen and they're doing incredible things with eyelet cell transfer and some other things with gene therapy. It's a diagnosis, not a death sentence...keep your chin up! :gj:

I'm on a pump and love it as well. It's pink and I named it Hilary Duff :rofl: Poor little thing has been beaten and battered and dropped into lakes and it's still going strong :gj:
My chin's up(ish). I have to keep reminding myself all the cool things I do in spite of it! But the 10 year just feels so much more forever than the other ones. I don't know why, but it's weirding me out big-time.

That's hilarious about your naming it! Mine was marketed as being "charcoal" gray but I refer to it as "gunsmoke" gray, lmao! My current one has taken a beating as well and I'm on number three from the original one they put me on after upgrades and whatnot. I'm sorry you're in a bit of funk, that sucks but I hear ya' on that. Two years ago in May I wrecked as a result of an insulin/hypoglycemic reaction and broke my femur, several ribs, collapsed a lung and bruised the other, etc. so I can relate to feeling the "weight" of living with and trying to manage this disease, especially long-term. It gets old in a hurry, lol! Don't let it beat you, even if it gets you down for a few.

Aw Liv, we love you! Stay positive.

I'm gonna celebrate with tortilla chips and salsa cheese dip. Hope that's celebratory enough, its pretty darn delish.

I don't really like halloween so ill hate it with you next year.
