Hi Ilsa. I am Mom to a 14 year old with T1. She was diagnosed when she was 11. There have been some lighter moments - if you want and have time, I have written about some of the experiences in a blog. You can find it at Time4t1.blogspot.co.za. I hope your project goes well.

Iâm not sure what youâre looking for but hereâs a funny story for you:
I started using an insulin pump over 15 years ago. After using it at home with saline for a week or so before I âwent live,â I went to the hospital to be set up - the doctor told me and his other patient that we could expect to be there two or three days for safety sake, while they adjusted our settings. (I donât know if thatâs how they do it now, but it was then.) I and the other patient were able to wander around - we certainly werenât bed-bound - so I was on the elevator heading somewhere, surrounded by a bunch of doctors. All of a sudden a beep-beep-beep went off. All of the doctors pulled out their pagers. I pulled out my pump.
And speaking of pagers - this will give you an idea of how old I am. Once I got my pump I wore it on a belt clip. It does look something like a pager, and occasionally a guy would walk up to me and all for my pager number. I would reply âI donât have a pagerâ and I remember one guy got an attitude and said âWell whatâs that then?â - he clearly didnât believe me. He may have walked off in a huff before I could explain what it was, but itâs probably just as well.
Much success with your project!
