I’m having the green one.
I’m diabetic, so to get one of these is like catching gold-dust, what with the NHS funding and all. Anyway, I’m excited, and I’m to be trained and fitted with the pump from the 19th to the 21st November with two other kids my age. The Hillingdon Hospital is opening up a pump clinic, because otherwise you had to go up Northwick Park to get this done, I think, and people weren’t TOO happy with that.
It should make my sugar levels better. I’m told not to expect an overnight change, which I’m not, but my sugar levels are awful at the moment, so anything that makes them better is absolutely welcome.
I was opposed to the pump a year ago, as you have to have it connected day and night, and was worried that I’d pull it, and I was a bit squeamish about the whole thing. Now, I can’t wait for the thing to be put on.

I’m sitting here on a Sunday (before going back to school after half term) looking out towards Heathrow, and I can see planes taking off in the distance, and I’m thinking… I want to be on that plane. Then planes coming in to Heathrow, and thinking… why are you coming HERE? Of any place you could go, why here? I should be doing English homework. I WANT TO GO SOMEWHERE! I’m melancholic, I guess.
Have a good week
