THE JOYS OF THE INSULIN PUMP. LET US COUNT THE WAYS

  1. Far fewer holes in your body. Once every 3 or 4 DAYS. Instead of 3 or 4 times EACH DAY.
  2. Eat when you want.
  3. Fall down less. Fewer severe reactions. Less sweating. Less confusion. It’s proven. They’ve done the studies.
  4. YOU turn up the insulin. YOU turn down the insulin. Up. Down. Up. Down. It’s whatever your body needs AT THAT MOMENT. Instant control. Unlike anything else in your life.
  5. No syringes. (Well, maybe a few for backup)
  6. The pump remembers. What you took. When you took it. You can look it up. You can forget it. More time to ponder the meaning of life or something.
  7. Limitless Variability. Introduce Limitless Variability into your life. Give yourself 1.2 units of insulin at 3 a.m., without removing any clothing, while ice fishing, so you can have a rum ball. Rum balls and ice fishing. One of the oft-unconsidered benefits of the insulin pump.
  8. The pump does not control your life. YOU control the pump. YOU CONTROL YOUR LIFE. That way, YOU get all the credit when YOUR LIFE TURNS OUT PERFECT in the end.
  9. More favorable interaction with the outside world. You may not care, but NO ONE wants to see your syringes and NO ONE wants to see you stick your syringes into yourself. Trust me.
  10. Actually, I oversold. There are only NINE good things about the pump. But that is plenty.
