Sister’s Wedding Photo Drama Ignites Fiery Family Feud Over Health Boundaries
Insulin pumps can be used by people with Type 1 diabetes, some individuals with Type 2 diabetes, and folks with Type 3c diabetes or monogenic diabetes.
Here are a few reasons why you may want to use an insulin pump:
- You find it hard to reach your target blood sugar range using multiple daily injections;
- You want more flexibility and precision in insulin dosing;
- You have unpredictable eating habits or lifestyle schedules;
- You require small doses of insulin;
- You have gastroparesis, experiencing delays in food absorption.
However, these pumps might not be the best option if you have problems with manual dexterity, have low vision or blindness, or have issues keeping the equipment attached.
Standing up for your interests and protecting your boundaries is vital. Especially when it comes to your health
According to the author of the post, u/DiabeticBridesmaid, she has Type 1 diabetes and wears two medical devices. One is a blood sugar monitor, and the other is an insulin pump. In short, they automatically monitor and regulate her blood sugar levels.
“This basically means I don’t have to prick my fingers to test blood sugar or give myself insulin injections, the system does that automatically and makes my life way easier.”
Though the devices are small, the woman’s sister tried to pressure her into taking them off for her wedding, so that the photos would come out better. The author’s mom later pressured her, too. However, nobody should take off essential medical equipment without first consulting their doctor.
