My pump is the best, I love that I can go to school and my friends' houses and not feel worried about my diabetes, I like that I can use my pump myself and enter my carbs for my food with mummy’s help. I don’t have to have injections anymore and even when mummy changes my pump it doesn’t hurt. I want to have my pump forever.
Isabella was diagnosed with Type one Diabetes in September 2020 at just 6 years old. She was on MDI and in July 2021 Isabella was offered a t:slim Pump. We were apprehensive about going onto a pump with tubing and she was very nervous. The t:slim immediately improved her quality of life and as it works on Control-IQ with her Dexcom G6 it really changed our lives as parents too. Isabella can work her pump and this has given her huge independence. Overnight care has dramatically changed as the pump works to correct highs and prevent lows an amazing feature for us. Isabella gets on very well with the tubing and it doesn’t bother her or stop her from doing any activities. Life as a child is challenging with Type one diabetes but with the technology of the t:slim Isabella can live carefree knowing her pump will give her the insulin she needs to be healthy and safe. Isabella’s blood sugars are in range 70-80% of the time and this is thanks to her t:slim pump. Thank you for helping our daughter’s quality of life improve massively we will be forever grateful.
