My insulin pump has malfunctioned mid-bolus twice in a four day span, but Tandem won’t replace it until it malfunctions a third time. 🫠

If you ever see this shirt for sale anywhere, message me immediately. I don’t care if we don’t know each other. I owned it in 2008-2009 and have been searching for it for years. #JacksMannequin
