[Diabetes-talk] wearing your pump

[d m gina]

Yes I will do this when we get to this part of life for me.
I'm very interested in what folks do then it isn't scary for me.
Because if I see you folks can do it, then I feel relaxed.
I'm sure that is silly, but that is how it is for me.
Also when I get hungry, I get hungry, you eat now, do you feel this way 
wearing the pump having everything running as smoothly as possible, for 
the time?
Do you have to worry about getting in the cold and dropping?
that is where I drop, and know it rite now when it happens.
I either get so thursty I could drink a river smile,
or I can't seem to stay on track of what I want to do.
Thanks for being kind.
