Tweetable quotes:

“ I think the reason for this part two is that even though we both plans, we did everything things happen, and learning how to roll with the punches.” - Amber Clour

“ The pump gave me a lot of freedom. And I've said this for a year. Insulin pump therapy, to me, is not a therapy choice. It's a lifestyle choice.” -  Dave Kliff
