Rocky gets "Pumped"!

11/29/2011

0 Comments

 
Hi everyone! It's Rocky here. I want to thank you all again for the support you've shown me since I got diagnosed with diabetes. Honestly, one of my biggest struggles is that needles and me are not BFFs - not only do they give me the
willy wonkas, but they get caught in my feathers and fluff!

So I was very curious when my doctor told me that I have an alternative to insulin injections to treat my diabetes -
insulin pumps! They provide fast-acting insulin throughout the day, so no needles throughout the day. The doctor told me that pumps are good at adjusting to my lifestyle (lots of travel, flapping out windows, and exploring!), so I wouldn't have to change my own routine as much.

There are also many different kinds of pumps! So I thought I'd share with you what I've learned by researching with my doctor on what might be the best pump for me if I decide to go the "pump" way!  These are just a few of the inuslin pumps someone like me could pick from - do you know of any more?  Click away if you want to learn more :)
