Just got back from my 1st endo appointment since switching to the insulin pump 1 month ago & it was so fun! Damn do I ever fucking love new tech! I told him about this incident where I was already low, but still had 1.9 units of insulin in my system & he showed me how to suspend my basal insulin, so if it happens again, at least I won't have basal insulin working against me in the background! I can also *extend* my bolus and give myself a percentage of the dose of insulin now, and then the rest 30 mins (or w/e) later. So, if I have 2 heaps of rice on my plate & I'm supposed to get 2.9 units of insulin BUT I'm not sure if I'll eat it all, I can tell the pump to give me 50% of my insulin now & 50% in 30 mins. If I end up only eating half the rice, I can cancel the last 50%! Can't do that with a needle! 🤯 I haven't done a needle in 34 days! I even went on a day trip to Toronto WITHOUT an insulin kit! The pump is awesome! 🤩 https://warpcast.com/sunnycrittenden/0xc0346ee6

What does an insulin pump look like is it a small device (IV) that's attached to your arm?

Yep! It can also go on your belly (where mine is rn) or your thighs, or upper bum area! I have an aqua cover on mine rn, but the device itself is white, about 2/3 the size of a TicTac box. When you put it on, it inserts a short IV (maybe 1/4 cm long) called a cannula, which just feels like a surprising little "pop!" on your skin & then it delivers insulin constantly + you can give yourself correction insulin and it eliminates daily needles! A total marvel of science!
