#28 Pumps, CGMs, MDI, and Glucose Meters: Our Journey’s with Different Management Styles
Show Notes

This week Heather and I have a lot to unpack! Not only did I have my first week ever using a Dexcom, Heather had a brief pump failure and has been dealing with some illness.

We catch up on our last couple weeks and discuss our journeys with different management styles. Heather only had about a year doing multiple daily injections (MDI) before she got a pump and got a Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) in her teen years. As for me, I went 10 years doing injections and 15 years doing fringed pricks and using a glucose monitor.
