Are you using or thinking of using an insulin pump to manage your diabetes? Talk with diabetics who know. Join insulin pump users with/without a sensor in a group setting to share and talk about your experiences. The group is open to children, parents, and senior citizens who are presently using a pump or are considering it. Meeting at the Library and on Zoom.
The February 19 meeting is pleased to once again have Shivaun O’Donnell, RN and a Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist (CDCES) with Tandem Diabetes, to speak to the group. She brings both professional expertise and personal experience to her work, having lived with type 1 diabetes for over 40 years. She has been using insulin pump therapy for more than two decades and will share information about Tandem insulin pump therapy. She also has expert knowledge about all types of pump therapy.
Shivaun’s journey into diabetes care began in 2011, when she decided to leave her previous career, return to school, and become a registered nurse. Inspired by her own experiences, she pursued her passion to support and educate others living with diabetes, ultimately becoming a diabetes educator.
Shivaun joined Tandem after using the Tandem products for about six years, and having had the burden of diabetes eased greatly with their automated insulin delivery products. She used the Tandem Tslim X2 and is now on the newest Tandem Mobi.
Today, she works closely with people using pump therapy, helping them learn how to use the Tandem insulin pump products, and to find ways of managing their diabetes to get the best possible results.
