Deborah continues with her “firsts” themes and shares the story of how the brand of Diabetic Real came to be and emerged out of something that was less than a happy situation. It became the solution to voices that needed “to be heard.” Or boobs, elderly people, and the governor’s office.

Insulin Pump Information

The Minimed 780G System is one of the newer insulin pumps available through Medtronic. It may not be the specific pump referenced in this podcast episode, but it will at least provide an idea, especially for newbies, of what an insulin pump is and the specific brand that Deborah uses. She was one of the original Minimed insulin pump wearers.
