Message: <blockquote data-quote="Snapsy" data-source="post: 1545616" data-attributes="member: 265172">For years before I got my pump, I KNEW the name I would call it - it's the name of the ward sister who was just so, so amazing when I was diagnosed aged 11. THAT was going to be the name.But actually, I just call it my pump.My Libre reader is called 'my bipper'.And my sensor is a 'Smartie'.  Mr S calls my pump and its accoutrements as 'your disability aid' but ONLY in jest, and only because that's what the insurance company categorised it as when he rang them to get it covered!The kit and caboodle I carry round with me is what we call my 'life support system'.All sorts of names for all sorts of things. On a bad day though, most of them have the same name - one syllable, starting with the sixth letter of the alphabet.<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" /><img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite11" alt=":rolleyes:" title="Roll Eyes    :rolleyes:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":rolleyes:" /><img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
