Sometimes, life critical devices have to make themself desirable to the user.
It sounds stupid on the face of it, but for a 13 years old already stuffed to death with complexes, the difference between a bluetooth device no one sees and can be checked quickly, and something with tubes running through your clothes to your pants can be like night and day.
- kamens 14y agoDitto this. When I was 15/16 and considering a pump (I got one when I was 17), I was seriously concerned about social implications. That was an extra year or two spent injecting when I should've been on the pump. I'm willing to take some of that blame for being shallow, but not all of it. I know I wasn't the last teen diabetic w/ similar thoughts.
