In this episode of the Blogging Diabetes podcast I catch up on a bunch of various topics and questions that were submitted over the past few weeks. I hope everyone had a great New Year’s! Also in this episode is a bit about 2012 and my outlook for 2013. One epiphany I had is around what to do if my pump dies in the near future. I’ve talked about this in a bunch of episodes and on the blog over the years and I think I’ve finally come to a conclusion on what is next for me.

I love getting questions submitted because it tells me what listeners are interested in and how I may be able to provide insight to help people directly.  There were a few great questions that I talk about and how difficult a seemingly easy question can be to answer. Finally, I talk a bit about the book I’ve just finished, what I’m reading now and what may be next. 

I hope you enjoy the episode and have a great weekend!

I haven’t had my pump die before, but I do have to take it off a lot for swimming. Not exactly the same thing but it does cause a lot of monitoring and issues. I actually have a couple of articles talking about it at my website http://www.bodyathleticsblog.com

Overall great podcast and look forward to more!

Hey Benjamin – I can imagine being a competitive swimmer or just in the pool a lot would make it difficult to have a pump that isn’t water proof. I also don’t know where you would put it either…

Like some other athletes I can think of, they tend to go the MDI or injection route over a pump, but not always. I guess Omnipod would be an option too.

Thanks for the comment and kind words!
