About 4 years ago, I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes, and have been taking insulin shots ever since.  I have always had a positive outlook on this, and have never minded it too much.  And have always been keen on educating myself on current control methods, etc.  of Diabetes.

Recently, I decided that I would try out the pump!!  For those of you who are not familiar with an insulin pump, it is what it sounds like.  A pump that pumps insulin.  It is connect to you by a small tube and it usually is on your waste, how many people carry their cell phones, or mp3 players.

When this box arrive the other day, I was super excited!!!

It had been delayed for a few weeks, because of Canada Post losing something, and then some miscommunication, and I wasn’t quite expecting it the day it arrived, which made it even more exciting.

There is the box of the actual pump!

And the pump itself.  It is quite small, and very easy to use.  Almost fool-proof, which you would like, considering that pressing the wrong button could put you in hospital, or even kill you.

To compare size, I decided to take a picture with it beside my cell phone.  I figured that phones are pretty much a standard size, and if not, you may recognize my phone, and know what size it is.

I am getting it “installed” and my official training soon!!  I’ll be sure to update you all on this, and tell you how it goes!!
