My youngest daughter has been on a pump for six years now and she's completely burned out and apathetic about it all. It just all blurs together and her diabetes is not well managed at the moment. My oldest and I had a sort of impromptu intervention with her and she just broke down crying. It's a lot.
The pump she has, a t:slim X2 is better than her Medtronic, but the closed loop aspect (control iq) is impotent and rarely has a noticeable impact. Hopefully this tech will advance on a good pace and products will hit the market with more assertive control algorithms. Obviously there are dangers but we've already accepted that by hooking her up to a pump with enough insulin in it to kill her.
