Amen…Bring a lantus pen.

Lantus alone is going to keep do a majority of the work from keeping going into DKA.

Insulin pumps are going to fail. They are mechanical devices. Batteries fails. The connected phone can fail. At some point in a diabetic lifetime…it is going to break.

The entire reason most patients are taught with subcutaneous insulin is at the start is that there is good chance complex tech will break.

As healthcare providers we get this - we see these patients on the weekly. As patients you may only get experience it once in your lifetime…. Technology will always break at the most inconvenient time. You need to have a back up plan with your health. SQ insulin is the back up plan.
