When it is cold outside and your bs-meter gets cold it doesn´t work. That can be a critical moment for us with diabetes. When I go out skiing I really need my bs-meter and to make sure it work I wear it in pocket in AnnaPS tank top. If I would like to reach the bs-meter easier I place the tank top over the layer 1 and layer 2. Thanks Josefine Palmén that teached me this.

You find the tank tops on www.annaps.com and you can choose different models, woman and men. You can choose two different colors and thin (white) or thicker(black). We love them both.

Susann about Susann:

I am a determined young woman Susann ”Sussu” Gleisner, born in 1987. I am an entrepreneur and running your own small business. I have many dreams and goals in life that I want to realize. I always have a thousand ideas in my head and I would particularly like to help others through my experiences and knowledge I have received in my life. I like to have many balls in the air. 
I am a mother, partner, entrepreneur, lecturer, author, writer, distributor, trainer in equestrian and racing riders. I live with two diseases around the clock that I have had since childhood, diabetes type 1 and celiac disease. It is within the two areas I work most and has many ideas I want to implement to improve the quality of life of others with illnesses. 

I’m living with Frederick as captain. We had the honor of January 2014 be happy and proud parents of a wonderful and much loved little girl, Vanessa. I love mom life and getting to spend the bulk of my time with her. 
We live in Socklot, a small village in Ostrobothnia, Finland. 
Right now, for the moment, we are building from scratch our very own dream farm. 

I am a person who has never seen my illness as an obstacle in my life, quite the opposite. Please follow me on my website which will be launched in October: 
www.susanngleisner.com 

Why I wrote the book? 
I got an idea – an idea that became real. 
A children’s book about diabetes. 
I saw the need, I wrote a script and the 11/11/2013 came out, my book: 
”How so sick?” 
The first edition sold out quickly, now is the second edition out there. 

Info text of the book. 
When you are ill should probably be in bed, right? 
Martin’s friend Minnie has diabetes, but she does not look sick at all, quite the contrary. Just to manage their disease, says Minnie, can live as normal as any other child. 
Susann Gleisner got yourself type 1 diabetes when she was a child. With the story of Minnie, she wants to show that life is by no means run out after a diabetes diagnosis. 

Published by publisher Scriptum: https://www.scriptum.fi/sv/books/children/hur_da_sjuk

The idea behind the book: 
⁃ When you fall ill as a child and is in the hospital, then you get loads of hospital information. Then I want to be able to read my book and see that it’s not just dark and tough. One can live a normal life despite their illness. Both the child and the parents need to see it back then, so maybe, just maybe it will go a little easier. 
⁃ Kindergartens, schools should be able to read the book. Many children today have diabetes and do not have a child in the group, I want the children to have some knowledge of what diabetes is. 
⁃ Parents, siblings and grandparents can easily by reading the book have told of their illness. 
⁃ A diabetsbarn can tell by the book to their friends what their illness. 
⁃ Diabetes child can get a better view of their illness. 
⁃ disseminate the disease. 
⁃ 
I also go around and hold story time with my book for children. 
Tex to libraries, schools, churches and various events. 
I read to the children from the book, then we will discuss about the book, and diabetes. 
I also have my own diabetes material I show the children. 
These storytelling has been a great success.

This is the book

Recension av boken:

Susann presenterar sig:

Jag är en målmedveten ung kvinna Susann ”Sussu” Gleisner, född 1987. Jag är en entreprenör och driver ett eget litet företag. Jag har har många drömmar och mål i livet som jag vill förverkliga. Jag har alltid tusen ideér i mitt huvud och jag vill framför allt hjälpa andra genom mina erfarenheter och kunskaper jag har fått i mitt liv. Jag gillar att ha många bollar i luften. 
Jag är mamma, sambo, företagare, föreläsare, författare, skribent, återförsäljare, tränare inom ridsport och tävlingsryttare. Jag lever med två sjukdomar dygnet runt som jag har haft sedan barnsben, DIABETES typ1 och CELIAKI. Det är inom de två områden jag jobbar mest och har många ideér jag vill förverkliga för att förbättra andras livskvalitét med sjukdomarna. 

Jag är sambo med Fredrik som är sjökapten. Vi fick äran att i januari 2014 bli lyckliga och stolta föräldrar till en helt underbar och högt älskad liten tjej, Vanessa. Jag älskar mammalivet och att få spendera den största delen av min tid med henne. 
Vi bor i Socklot, en liten by i Österbotten, Finland. 
Just nu för tillfället håller vi på att bygga upp från noll vår alldeles egna drömgård. 

Jag är en person som aldrig har sett mina sjukdomar som ett hinder i mitt liv, tvärtom. Följ mig gärna på min hemsida som lanseras i oktober:
www.susanngleisner.com

Varför jag skrev boken?
Jag fick en idé – en idé som blev verklig. 
En barnbok om diabetes. 
Jag såg behovet, jag skrev ett manus och den 11.11.2013 kom den ut, min bok: 
”Hur då sjuk?”
Den första upplagan sålde slut snabbt, nu finns den andra upplagan ute.

Infotext om boken. 
När man är sjuk ska man väl ligga till sängs, eller?
Martins kompis Mimmi har diabetes, men hon ser inte alls sjuk ut, tvärtom. Bara man sköter sin sjukdom, säger Mimmi, kan man leva som vanligt som alla andra barn.
Susann Gleisner fick själv diabetes typ 1 när hon var barn. Med berättelsen om Mimmi vill hon visa att livet ingalunda tar slut efter en diabetesdiagnos. 

Utgiven via förlaget Scriptum: https://www.scriptum.fi/sv/books/children/hur_da_sjuk

Iden bakom boken: 
⁃ När man insjuknar som barn och ligger på sjukhus, då får man massvis med sjukhusinformation. Då vill jag att man ska kunna läsa min bok och se att det är inte bara mörkt och jobbigt. Man kan leva ett normalt liv trots sin sjukdom. Både barnet och föräldrarna behöver se det redan då, så kanske, kanske det går lite lättare.
⁃ Daghem, skolor ska kunna läsa boken. Många barn idag har diabetes, och har inte ett barn i gruppen så vill jag att barnen ska ha lite kunskap om vad diabetes är. 
⁃ Föräldrar, syskon, mor- och farföräldrar kan på ett enkelt sätt genom att läsa boken få berättat om deras sjukdom. 
⁃ Ett diabetsbarn kan genom boken berätta åt sina vänner vad de har för sjukdom.
⁃ Diabetesbarnet kan få en bättre syn på sin sjukdom.
⁃ Sprida kunskap om sjukdomen. 
⁃
Jag åker även runtom och håller sagostunder med min bok för barn.  
Tex till bibliotek, skolor, församlingar och olika evenemang.
Jag läser för barnen ur boken, sen så diskuterar vi kring boken och diabetes. 
Jag har även med mitt egna diabetesmaterial som jag visar åt barnen. 
Dessa sagostunder har blivit en stor succé.

50% OFF- CLEARANCE SALE- SINGLETS WITHOUT POCKETS. Wonderful tops with double fabric in front and beautiful lace details. Highest quality and design, eco of course.

Äntligen finns det vita kalsonger med fickor för pump för män. Dessutom har vi tagit in dem i vår populära kalsongmodell med dubbla fickor. Perfekt till sommaren!

Så nu finns kalsonger med dubbla fickor i lager igen, nu i färgerna vitt och svart. Samma material, härlig stadig tencel som andas och transporterar fukt.

Vad är det då som skiljer mellan kalsonger med en ficka och med dubbla fickor?

Förutom antalet fickor så är det på insidan av fickan som är skillnaden. 

Kalsonger med en ficka har en öppning på insidan av fickan där man enkelt stoppar in pumpen och kan alltså stoppa slangen på insidan av kalsongen utan att koppla ur den från infusionsetet.

Kalsonger med dubbla fickor har ett (nu större) knapphål inuti fickan. För att placera slangen på insidan av kalsongen behöver man koppla loss infusionsetet och trä slangen igenom hålet. Det går enkelt det med. 

Vi önskar er alla en riktigt fin Kristi Himmelfärdshelg.

Se gärna 30 sek video på youtube med kalsongerna. Klicka här för att starta filmen:

Finally, we have white briefs with pocket for men. And in our popular model with double pockets. 
Now there are briefs with double pockets in stock again, this time in the colors white and black. The same material, lovely steady tencel breathable and transports moisture. 

What is it that difference between briefs with a pocket and double pockets? 

In addition to the number of pockets so it is on the inside of the pocket that is the difference. 

Briefs with a pocket has an opening on the inside of the pocket where you can easily stop the pump and place the hose on the inside of the briefs without disconnecting it from the infusion set. 
Briefs with double pockets have one buttonhole inside the pocket. To place the hose on the inside of the briefs you need to disconnect the infusion set and wooden hose through the hole. It’s easy too.

Welcome to webshop www.annaps.com

Do you carry insulin pump and have problems to find a good way to carry your insulin pump during the Summer? Perhaps my story can help you to find an easy way to feel beautiful and relaxed with your pump in the Summertime.
I love the Summer, it is a warm and healthy time. To protect the insulin and also find a way to carry my insulin pump is necessary. Walking around in the garden or just stay on the beach, I carry my insulin pump in the bikini with pocket for the pump from AnnaPS. Sometimes bikini model in boxer or sometimes with long legs. I really like to make it simple. I don´t have to be afraid of dropping the pump, it´s stays in the pocket. And it is discrete, nobody even see the pump and I like the design. I think the pocket and the popper is a nice detail, making the bikini unique. And I am always handsfree! I can do whatever I want without thinking of my insulin pump. That is freedom for me. Always have all hands free, that is perfect.

When I need to take a bolus or something else it is easy and quick to take out and in the pump in the pocket. It is easy to close the pocket with the popper to make sure the pump stays in the pocket. I use to place the needle low on my stomach because then I can have the whole tube inside the garment and protect the insulin from the heat and sunshine. It is a small opening inside the pocket to make it possible to have the tube inside the garment.

I don´t swim with my insulin pump because it isn´t waterproof. When it is time for me to go into bath, I take off the pump from the coupling. Let the pump stay in the bikini pocket and just switch to another pair of bikinipanties. The pump stay easy in the pocket and there are no risk it will fall out from the pocket. I use to place the bikini panties in my bag, protect them from the sunshine. There are also perfect protection of the pump from sand. No sand get into the pocket and the pump. When I have been swimming I put on my bikini panties with the insulin pump in the pocket, assembling the coupling and start the  pump again. I don´t have to hold the insulin pump when I put off and on the garment. The insulin pump stay into the pocket when it is closed with the popper.
This is simple life for me with my pump in Summertime.

Ofcourse I have to watch up regarding the heat and the insulin but I use to find a solution for that.

Would you like to tell me your story regarding insulin pump and Summertime? Please let me know.

Here you can see a video on youtube in 30 sek, about carrying the pump in bikini pocket, please click on the link: AnnaPS bikini with pocket for insulin pump

Looking forward to meet the summer again!

This is written by Anna Sjöberg, grounder of AnnaPS and type 1 diabetic with pump.

As diabetic I can feel sick of that I always need to bring a bag with all my necessary things as Type 1 diabetic. I always need to bring my bs (blood sugar)-meter, my dextro, my cellular phone and my pump. Sometimes I also have my emergency pen with me.

I then developed a tank top with pockets in sides. Just to bring all my things without using a bag. In the tank top it is an opening on inside to place the pump in the pocket and also have the tube on inside. Then it is also an opening on outside of the tank top, to be used to easy taking in and out things from the pocket.

I use to wear the tank top under my shirt or T-shirt, it easy to reach the pocket openings and taking out and in what I need. Really discrete, it is fashion with function. And it is so simple, I never have to look for my bs-meter, it is always close to me.

To show you how to use the tank top I made this video with Josefin showing how to place the pump in the pockets, just 30 sek. Please visit youtube, click on this link:

Swimming with pump or just be on the beach with pump and feel relaxed in a bikini from AnnaPS

As diabetic with pump it is sometimes lot of problems when you sleep.

Lots of pump users wake up a lot of times in the night because they have the pump free in the bed and when they turn they start laying on the pump, the hose is straighten and it is a lot of risk to lose the infusion set from the body, which is really bad for the glucose level.

Lot of pump users feel bad sleeping with the belts. It is not good looking and uncomfortable to wear.

Some are wearing the pump in a clip on the boxers. No problem until you need to visit the toilet in the nights and you have to put the pump in your mouth to hold it.

Really big problems start when you have small kids calling in nights or coming and would like to sleep in your bed. The small kids hands and feet are a big risk to catch the hose and then the infusion set is falling off.

As a diabetic with pump I love my boxers with special pockets for the pump integrated. I always sleep with the pump in the boxers and I sleep so well. I am never disturbed because of the pump. With the pump in the boxers never have to think about the pump and the hose. I don´t even see the pump and I feel good looking. I never wake up because of laying of the pump. I feel safe. And I always have my hands free. I love my boxers with pocket for insulin pump. My special diabetic clothes.

Do you also would like to sleep well and not have to see or think about your pump in the nights. Please welcome to the website where you can buy the boxers or other special clothes for insulin pump user´s on www.annaps.com
