I love my pump, but was stoic forgetting and not wanting to check my blood. I just set timers on my machine and it is helping to remind me to test. My testing machine is quick and not painful but I also hate being diabetic 23 years since 21. When I think of people I know who died at a young age from gang green, ketoacidosis and getting amputations, it put reality and scares the heck out if me. I've had ketoacidosis and almost died, passed out and last year at a store. I don't know when I'm low and it makes it more important to check often. Maybe join a group and get support. You can live a long life just stay on top of this. This is controllable!
