Gina you beautiful and generous person...telling your story...that would be so helpful to everyone..including your dad!
and your husband had to love what you wrote...(sacrifice for the greater good) but it is a love story...about you, your relationship to yourself and your husband..and what a lovely man..dr. Wendy
Thank you so much for sharing the true reality of day to day life with diabetes and letting us know that even with self-conscious feelings in the beginning of a relationship, love does prevail. How tender of your then bf, now husband, to have had candy in the nightstand and kiss the infusion set area.
Gina, this is exactly why I love to read your posts - they are so real - from the heart - touching, special, open....and provide the emotional support we can't get from medical professionals, books, or online factual resources. I value the voice in your writing. You're the best.
Gina,
Another great post.
I was married for 20 years, pumpless then went on the pump 7 years ago and I am sure it is my issue, but for me sex is different on the pump than pumpless. On the pump I feel very restricted in movement, if that makes sense, so I usually disconnect, but then I hate the site hanging on my tummy, even though I cap off.
I have never discussed it with my husband, but it really bothers me that I am on the pump during intimate occasions. I am thinking soon of a pump vacation.

The part about Mike having candies in the drawer next to the bed in case you went low ----- amazingly sweet and uplifting! Thanks for being open about and making normalcy of what so many of us go through...
Thanks Riko, I was honestly embarrassed about writing it but, I just don't think enough people write about this sort of thing.
