A quality of a best friend is someone who is there to help you at any time with anything you need. Best Friends are often taken for granted and the things they do go unnoticed. In today’s world technology is a person’s best friend. Technology is my sister Abbey’s best friend because she is a type 1 diabetic and her diabetic pump administers her insulin without having to take a needle. My Fathers best friend is technology because he uses many GPS systems that help him keep track of his transport trucks. Technology is my best friend because my phone helps me stay in touch with my friends through text messages and social media. Today’s technology is so advanced it is hard for it not to qualify as a person’s best friend. My sister Abbey depends on technology to survive her everyday life and this is why technology is her best friend. Abbey is diabetic and she is hooked up to a Medtronic diabetic pump that she has to wear 24/7. This pump administers her proper amounts of insulin depending on the number of carbohydrates she has eaten at a meal. Without this technology she would be spending a lot of time figuring her carbohydrates to insulin ratio and she would have to give herself a needle 5 times a day, she would also only be able to eat every 4 hours. With the pump she is able to eat whatever she wants, whenever she wants and all she has to do is tell her pump how many carbohydrates she has eaten and it will dispense the correct amount of insulin. This technology replaces the manual calculations that take up a lot of time in her everyday life. My sister also has an iPhone and this technology is very useful in her everyday struggle of dealing with diabetes as well. With the technology of the apps on her phone she is able to eat out at a restaurant such as McDonalds or Tim Horton’s and calculates using the app how many carbohydrates she has eaten from the menu.
