> To tell the truth: I do not even know how to use the pen. I have never needed to do this in my life.

I truly do not understand how one could have T1D for 27 years and still be alive with this attitude. Don't get my wrong, I'm happy she is! And maybe that's just my own limited experience of managing my foster daughter's T1D for the past year talking but... Man, this year has been a rude education in how many ways all of these necessary-for-life pieces of equipment and medications can go wrong and how easy it is to get into a life-threatening situation.

Going more than 30 minutes from home without extras of everything (Dexcom, glucometer, fast-acting, long-acting, glucose tabs, glucagon) is completely unthinkable.
