trailer < They are most probably looking at it trying to guess what it is. It's curiosity. From being a part of Type One Teens and (obviously) being a diabetic myself, I know a lot of people feel ashamed or embarrassed of their insulin pump and they don't like to show it, and choosing clothes can be a struggle because anything that shows off their pump is out of the question, and it frustrates me. And it frustrates me even more because an insulin pump is not all that a person is and it most definitely does not define a person's value or their beauty.I've seen various posts on Type One Teens from some of the girls talking about how they feel ashamed of their insulin pumps.

It is a small part of you, not the whole picture – and I can guarantee that most of the time, if not all the time, when someone looks at you they see you as you, and not as someone who wears an insulin pump.You do not need to be ashamed, nor do you need to feel embarrassed of a medical device that is part of the reason that you're even able to go out in public and enjoy your life. It frustrates us so much and makes us feel so self-con's daily life. 0000012113 00000 n 0000009740 00000 n
