If you ever wanted to know what it’s like to have an insulin pump, just get a gen 1 or gen 2 tamagotchi.
I told this to my gf after she started to get annoyed with her gen 2 tamagotchi, and she looked at me and said, “you’re your own tamagotchi.”😳
She wasn’t wrong.
They can be super demanding of your attention — would love to sleep without alerts — BUT it has been utterly life transforming for me. Congrats on your Tamagotchimification.

Since high school, I’ve had a pump, but recently I’ve been feeling the burnout from the alerts and managing my diabetes. Thankfully, there is a new pump that automatically adjusts to your routine called the iLet, and I just started it.
Next time we are doing
#VintagevsType1 I will reach out to you about participating.
