Get an insulin pump. Today, it is the best available treatment for insulin-dependent diabetes. Tomorrow? Stay tuned.
You deserve BETTER. Get an insulin pump for your diabetes.
Are you diabetic? Are you insulin dependent? Do you love someone who is insulin-dependent? Do you think it would be easier to have two heads than to be an insulin-dependent diabetic?
BETTER IS BETTER started as a small book, created with the intent of helping people understand the benefits of the insulin pump. The pump is a little machine that attaches to your person that will make your diabetic life better.
But BETTER IS BETTER is also dedicated to making diabetes not so tragic and lonely. Diabetes will never be all Happy Sunshine like in the advertisements, but it can be ridiculous and amusing, which is often at least as valuable as Happy Sunshine and certainly more available.
Diabetes, and what diabetics put up with, is ridiculous. But for now, that is the way it is. Ridiculousness can make you angry (“This is a pathetic excuse for a corn-dog and I can’t believe I paid $12 for it.”), or you can make it into something else (“Twelve dollars is a lot for a corn-dog, but watch how far I can hit this grapefruit with it.”).
BETTER describes what your life can be. Better, really, than having two heads.
