"I dread having to put a new pod every three days, and the needle it injects into my body is so painful and uncomfortable".
"My pod froze as I was on a hiking trip with my friends, and I had to be evacuated because I was un able to administer insulin accordingly".
"I was coming back from a trip and I got stuck in traffic when my sugar level immediately started to drop and I was at risk of fainting".
