Psychological implications of pump therapy

Treatment with pump therapy is an informed choice and it is not a treatment to be undertaken lightly. Insulin pump therapy requires a great deal of commitment and motivation. Support from family and friends may be needed as time-consuming training and education are necessary in order to become skilled in insulin pump use.

Often speaking to people in a similar situation to yourself or those that have been through what you are going through can be a reassuring experience. Have a look here for support groups for people with diabetes in your area.

Below is a great #type1uncut video series by Jess who has type 1 diabetes where she documents her emotional experiences switching to an insulin pump.
