SL Medical Device As Teaching Tool-- And Fashion Accessory

As a way of raising awareness about diabetes, Noelyci Ingmann created a virtual replica of an insulin pump with a built-in 90 minute reminder to test the wearer's blood sugars.  "This is a teaching opportunity," he explained. "I hope this gives you a taste of what it means to be a Type 1 Diabetic."  To further promote it, he then launched an "Insulin Pump Hottie" photo spread, featuring babes of both genders showing off their pump as a fashion accessory-- thereby promoting awareness even further.  Depicted here: Ms. Mocksoup Graves, pump-bearing pole dancer. 

Left unanswered by this image: there's really an SL strip joint decorated with the Companion Cube from Portal?  (Image: www.ingmanndesign.com.)

Thanks Hamlet! Appreciate the link and promotion. Nice to get linked to for something I actually designed this time. :P

Is it bad that the idea of getting head from a diabetic stripper that might go into insulin shock any minute gives me a raging boner?

Hmm...time to head to my local diabetic support group to figure out this moral dilemma...

Of all the hats I wear in SL, my burlesque club dancing gets me front billing..

We are a comedy/electronica dance club masquerading as a strip club. I am the general manager and general wrangler/creator of nuttiness. Companion Cubes,Physics,Glowing trees, Daft Punk, and a slew of other odd conversation topics are just the tip of the iceburg.

I like it, Mz. Mocksoup, thanks!

One of my friends back in college had one of these usually hidden from sight. I hadn't heard of them before she showed it to me. We didn't talk much about it at all though. At a first glance, it was a bit awkward to see it. Over a decade has passed since I've seen one. I'm curious about the risk of an infection with these devices since there is an opening in the skin. Do they remove the device at all? How are they installed? What happens if they run out of insulin? Is it a matter of hours before side effects or even death occur? Do they wake up every 90 minutes in the middle of the night to check blood sugar? I suppose I should hop on over to the store and pick up the pump to learn more.
