I have never wanted to have to deal with diabetes and the pump has been such a physical symbol of that. The pancreas that I wear on the outside, my battery pack, robot parts, that are so easily visible to others and is often mistaken for an iPod shuffle or phone. When you don’t want to live with a disease, it is so much harder to combat these comments from others that serve as a reminder that you are not normal. I think this will be an ongoing battle in my mind & maybe some of us can relate.
