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.

This book is gross. Like really gross. You probably shouldn’t read it if you gag easily. But you probably should read it if you are looking for ways to ease worries during your diabetes care routine.It turns out that there are a lot of things that are way worse than checking blood sugar, getting a shot, changing an insulin pump infusion site, and changing a continuous glucose monitor. As the old saying goes, taking care of your diabetes is a lot better than getting pooped out by a great white shark.With laugh-out-loud lines by Gillian King-Cargile and delightfully disgusting illustrations by Shawn Turek, this feel-better diabetes book will reassure readers that getting (or giving) a little poke is not the worst thing ever!
