Time for another #ThursdayThread🧵

In collaboration with @diabetes_chat.

This one is all about diabetes-related language🗣️

For me, it is a topic that really does matter🌟

Language is a sensitive subject for many with #diabetes, and so it should be.

Words spoken or written can affect the receiver in many different ways.

So it's important to be aware of language that an individual with #diabetes has a like 👍/dislike👎 to.

As a person who lives with #t1d I prefer to say that I am a person who lives with #diabetes rather than a diabetic.

But I know others that prefer to be called a 'diabetic'.

What do you prefer?👍

Do you remember the date when you or your family member were diagnosed with #diabetes?

Or as I call it 'D-day'.

Mine was 4008 days ago on 12th February 2012 🗓️

My blood glucose level was 30.6mmol/L🩸

I had my glucose measured in accident and emergency🏥

But the events that led to that moment was not smooth.

Where were you or your family member diagnosed with #diabetes?

Pens to Pumping

1/14

It's almost 200 days since I started using an insulin pump🗓️

So I thought I would reflect by creating a🧵covering:
What is pump therapy?
Why I switched from MDI?
What pump I chose and why?
How I switched?
What difference has it made?

What is pump therapy?

Insulin pump therapy is also known as a continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII).

It's basically a programmed pump that delivers rapid acting insulin through an infusion set to help manage glucose levels.

What type of insulin pumps are there?
There are two main types:

One type are tethered e.g. @TandemDiabetes T Slim, @MDT_Diabetes 780G, @mylife YpsoPump.

These pumps consist of a portable pump device, a canula that is inserted into the skin, and small tubing. Image
