Gentle encouragements along with a voice of reason — honestly, this voice led me to consider the insulin pump, the same insulin pump that for years I had been against. But every once in a while there is a calming voice that innocently says things in passing some of these sayings have been –

“You can adjust your dosage, easily with a pump which is not possible with taking long-acting”.

“It looks like your Basal insulin requirements are not the same all day long”

I remember being sick pre pump days - and that voice again with an innocent comment

“The insulin pump, I guess makes sick day management a little more bearable”

She never preaches or judge just drops useful hints, suggestions and facts here and there.

Thanks to her I am on an Insulin Pump and it has been – for me – the best diabetes management decision I have made so far.

Plus she is the only person that will put up with my after work torturing {photo shots}. What can I say looking through the lens is my stress reliever and we all know that stress is an evil contributor to high blood glucose.

My sister Elsa is my biggest supporter.
