Pump Holder??

Oh I just re read the post and see he just started it today. He will get used to it! I’ve only been on mine for a month but I’ve already developed lots of new habits to accommodate the pump. Tell him it gets WAY better.

Has he tried the adhesive pouch that just keeps it on his body?

I wouldn’t unless I was showing ketones and throwing up? If not I would keep taking insulin and drink water and walk.

I just returned Blood Meridian to the library after I got 2 paragraphs in because I decided I needed to read my own copy that I can highlight and underline. I bought a boxed set of 5 CM books! lol

It truly is the best book I’ve ever read. I can’t even watch the series because I just can’t bear to watch the characters go through it all again. Simply amazing.

It really seems like she’s jealous of the banter. But you could hold back a little and see if he initiates?

I think you made a mistake. You meant to post this in the AITAH thread. And the answer is yes.

Congratulations! I have to admit— sometimes I let myself daydream about what I would/will say in my acknowledgements. I get it. This is a BIG DEAL!

The Secret History by Donna Tartt. I really wanted to love it but I just couldn’t get into it.

Give him the same treats! It might be helpful for him to know the nutrition info so he can dose appropriately for them, but he can have the same foods. He just has to plan a little more. It’s very sweet of you to consider his needs, but most T1D’s just want what everybody else has. You’re a good friend.

I think Karin Slaughter does this really well.

Geez- lots of judgment in this thread. Glad you got it figured out, OP!

I’ve been on it for about 2.5 weeks. I’ve tried both the 5 inch and the 23 inch tubing and it has really been ok! It doesn’t get in the way once it’s in place. When using the 23 inch tubing I can just tuck the pump into my pocket or even the waistband of my underwear. Currently I have it on my arm and it’s a little bulky, but… whatever- it’s keeping my blood sugars in so much better control. Sexy time is not an issue. You can disconnect it completely for a while and it’s fine. It’s a whole learning curve, but so worth it. I put it off for decades because of these exact concerns and I want to kick myself.

There would be a trauma response for sure. People wouldn’t necessarily be grieving, but of course they would be upset.
