Insulin Pump, Injection, Blood Glucose Testing and The Freestyle Libre

To celebrate Diabetes Week in the UK, patients are 'Setting the Record Straight', dispelling myths and showing what it's really like to live with Diabetes.

I have Type 1 diabetes and I need to inject insulin or use my insulin pump every day to survive. I also need to prick my finger to check the amount of glucose in my blood and I wear the Freestyle Libre sensor to help me check my sugars.

This is my life with diabetes and has been for the last 14 years. Injecting, wearing a pump, pricking fingers and wearing glucose sensors are nothing to be ashamed of - We do it to survive :)
