Never looking back, Samantha started her pump in 2005 and her words were "I feel like I have been born again". Ryan and Jacob started there pumps in the same year. All three children have better control they now control there diabetes it does not control them. There are so many benefits using an insulin pump.

"One of my wishes, would be for each child living with type1 diabetes to have the opportunity to an insulin pump."

With the generosity of so many wonderful people in our community all three children now live with a insulin pumps. We were not in a health fund and we certainly did not have the funds for three pumps, but as a mother I would of walked to the end of the earth and back again to give our children the chance of the best diabetic control and care a mother could give them.

I often get asked how do I manage? "I have to, as a mother do the best that I can do and educate myself in the diabetic world. You can make a decision in life to just exist. But that's not living, so there are many times when its hard but that's all a part of living. I accept that I am an emotional person, that reassures me that I am human. What ever life's journey has installed for us, as a family we will manage.
