Dang it - I just tossed an empty NovoLog bottle. I wish I’d have thought of this…

Happy Holidays!
One bottle of insulin, three Mios, and lots of cursing later, the 9 year old’s infusion site has been changed!
Sometime it doesn’t go as smoothly as it should.
Whew!
Time to change the 9 year old’s infusion set!
She has Type 1 diabetes. She uses the insulin pump above. Every three days or so we have to change the infusion set.
These are the tools of the trade.
The quarter is for changing the battery in the pump, which we have to do every couple of weeks.
This insulin pump is an amazing piece of technology. But, all in all, it’d be better if she didn’t have to use it.
It’d also be better if she didn’t like Justin Bieber, if you ask me, but what can you do?
Our 9 year old daughter has Type 1 Diabetes and wears an insulin pump.
The infusion site for her pump needs to be changed every 2-3 days.
This chalkboard in the kitchen is great for helping to remind us when the last site change was.
It’s also, apparently, great for writing potty words.
