Happy #friyay everyone! We’re still on MDI - multiple daily injections til hopefully after we have our “mandatory” pump training on Wed with a fellow T1d & CDE herself! This means, in order for Coral to LIVE, she needs her:
Her NEW @tandemdiabetes #tslimx2 pump arrived! She’s not as excited about this change as I am, but she’ll get used to it. She, like many children living with #Type1diabetes are so resilient and strong! Also, she changed her clothes 4 x before this pic. 😆
Say it with me ⤴️😉✊🏼😷💉
Looks like we fooled a lot of you guys in yesterday’s April Fools post! 😂
GUESS WHAT?! We’re now sponsored by #novonordisk! We no longer have to pay for her life-saving insulin! 🎉💉
Wishing all our #healthcareheroes and doctors #HappyDoctorsDay today! The world has truly tested their resiliency and people have tested their boundaries. Follow these accts to #learnmore:
