Honoured to share my T1D journey with parents of T1D children: the struggles, the adjustments, the day-to-day with CGMs and pump, how I work, eat, move, and still find freedom outdoors. (Thanks for having me!)

I hope they felt the truth I’ve learned: their children can grow into a life that’s full, brave, and deeply beautiful…and hopefully behave better than I did as a teen rebel haha lol. 😂🤪

November is Diabetes Awareness Month 💙 my CGM won’t stop reminding me anyway 😅

I get asked about the devices on my body a lot, so here’s a quick breakdown 👇

📈 CGM (Continuous Glucose Monitor) reads my glucose every few minutes and shows me the trends.
💉 Insulin Pump delivers insulin all day, replacing the need for multiple injections.

Together, they make T1D management a little smarter, and my life a little easier 💙

Never thought I’d be with a pump this long, but this little tubeless buddy has made life so much easier. Switching from insulin pens to a tubeless pump has truly changed the way I manage my diabetes.

Unlike insulin pens that require multiple daily injections, a tubeless pump provides continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion.

Basal insulin is delivered steadily throughout the day, while bolus doses can be given easily at mealtimes. This allows for finer dose adjustments and often leads to improved glycaemic control and quality of life.

While my pump still require monitoring and troubleshooting, the convenience, flexibility, and reduction in injection burden make them a valuable option, especially for those seeking more stable glucose levels.

If you’re managing T1D with multiple daily injections (MDI), it’s worth discussing with your healthcare provider whether a pump could benefit you. :)

Almost twisted my back just posing for this pump shot lol 🤳
Trying a new site for my insulin pump: outer upper glute 🍑 Cheeky placement, but it works 😆

Things to note when using this site:
1. Find that sweet spot that doesn’t get squished when you sit, and still survives all your workouts.
2. Remove tight pants sloooowly… or risk ripping the pump right off 💀
3. …there are probably more, but let me figure them out first 😂

I wanted to stick with my fav spot (upper arm 💪) but gotta give it a break.
For pump users, site rotation is key because it:
• Helps insulin absorb properly
• Prevents lumps/scar tissue
• Lowers risk of irritation/infection
• Keeps sites comfortable long-term

👉 Basically rotate your sites = smoother sugars + happier skin ✨
