[QUOTE="Dark_Progress19, post: 2493395, member: 553284"] When I was a lot younger (I say probably 6 or 8 years old) when ever I ran out of cola to boost the glucose I had to drink sugary milk and most of the sugar was clumped at the bottom and it was nasty like swallowing sand paper but it was either that or hospital, rarely I used to refuse drinking it because I didn’t know what was happening to me (a couple of seconds before I started a seizure) my mum had to give me glucogen and that was even worse because it used to make me feel sick and throw up and the hospital then had to step in and help. Haha you too with the milk thing!! I have to admit I get questioned who stole the milk (shhh sometimes I replace it with new milk) but mostly blame my siblings only because they use all the milk most of the times but I still get the blame but the milk is soooooo goood. [emoji23] I’ve been on this pump now since the age of 12 and my life has changed so much, it’s a little easier to manage but with the sensor it’s made it manage my blood way better because it shows you how fast you are dropping or how fast it’s rising even shows you how balanced it is and there’s an app called Dexcom clarity which shows the diabetes team your blood rate and gives them an estimated HBa1C for the next time you’re at the clinic (technology right it’s awesome) when I was little I could never imagine this could happen.
