About this title

Synopsis

Grumpy? Who’s grumpy?

Type 1 Diabetes is a 24/7 condition. With all the highs and lows during the day, it's easy to get a little grumpy and start ignoring those beeping alarms and buzzing pumps. This is called Alarm Fatigue. But your medical devices are trying to tell you something important.

All of that beeping and buzzing is there to keep you safe. Don't Ignore Grumpy Pumpy tells the story of a little insulin pump with a big attitude and an important message. This book will have your family and caregivers laughing and learning about type 1 diabetes and alarm fatigue.

Diabetes doesn't have to keep you from being active and doing the things you love. Just remember the rule: Don't Ignore Grumpy Pumpy!
