I have thought about doing the same thing before but I never have. I was on an Omni pod pump for about 6 years but went back to pens. My pump was annoying and leaky but it also made me feel more diabetic. Always having that reminder and having people ask. That's just me though! Never let anyone make decisions for you. But also know you're never alone. Everyone just wants to help, it's annoying getting advice from the "outside" / nondiabetics.

I'm a nurse, I'm also a t1d for 19yrs now and have been with my bff (my pump) for fifteen years. I've been on both sides; as a patient and a care taker. <br />Everything that you wrote about in regards to your experience in the hospital is so true. I have also experienced the same issue with healthcare providers being anti-pump. As a patient it's infuriating but as a nurse I get it. We (nurses) see patient controlled pumps, of any kind, potentially dangerous. And if something does happen, that event ultimately gets blamed on the nurse, who then will have to defend his or her license. Also, healthcare providers are not trained in insulin pump therapy and people become afraid of what they don't understand. <br />But I'm with you, my worst fear is letting someone else manage my diabetes. I always refuse removing my pump when I'm in the hospital...but in your case, it seems like you had to fight for your life line. I'm glad you got it back! <br />I'll keep you in my prayers. I've struggled with depression my whole life and have had the same plans as yours many times, I just have never followed trough. I'm in a good place right now though, thank G-d!! And I'll pray that you find your good place soon too! <br />NurseJackieRealLife.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13897459963348866678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5173119484684101202.post-71588681101626658732016-11-03T15:38:53.679-04:002016-11-03T15:38:53.679-04:00Courtney, my heart breaks for how horrible you mus...Courtney, my heart breaks for how horrible you must have felt to have thought that suicide might be the answer. I am glad that you are getting help and it sounds as though you are in a better place now. Nothing about diabetes is easy and for sure nothing about depression is easy. Keep up the good fight because you are worth it. Even if you weren't the person with the coolest D-blog name ever, you would still be worth it. Sending hugs from a D-friend who is old enough to be your mom and maybe even your grandma. ��Laddiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02212090322026085867noreply@blogger.com
