To pump or not to pump? Sami and Ginger have both tried insulin pumps in the past — for many years, actually! Today, they both do MDI (multiple daily injections) of rapid-acting, long-acting, and inhaled insulin.

Here's what we don't love about pumping and why maybe Sami should give an automated insulin delivery (AID) system a try when the time is right.

About Type 1 Tea

We're spilling the tea on T1D! Every episode is an unscripted (and hardy edited) conversation about life with type 1 diabetes — hosted by Ginger Vieira and Sami Parker. We'll hit topics like managing insulin during exercise, other medications, A1c tips, nutrition tricks, weight loss, and more.

Unscripted and barely edited: Type 1 Tea is a real discussion about real life with type 1 diabetes.
