Most people with diabetes don’t realize how dramatically technology can improve blood sugar management until they experience it firsthand. 

Sami Parker, a pediatric registered nurse (RN) living with type 1 diabetes (T1D) for 13 years, shares how switching to the Sequel Twiist insulin pump and continuous glucose monitors (CGMs), such as the Freestyle Libre 3+, has transformed her daily life and improved her blood sugar stability.

In this episode, Sami recounts her journey from being anti-pumper to loving her Twiist insulin pump, thanks to its unmatched accuracy, occlusion detection, and customizable features that fit her spontaneous lifestyle and intense work schedule. 

She explains how these tools help her maintain over 90% time-in-range (TIR), even during night shifts and demanding days, and why she finally feels she has power over her diabetes.
