Default Hello
Hello everybody.
I'm new here. I'm French so excuse me if my English is very bad.
I come here in order to know how diabetes is treating in others countries.
I was diagnosed Type1 21 years ago, when I was 6.
I have a pump since summer 2008.

Hello Sami, welcome to Diabetes Forum. I took two years of French in college but that was 50 years ago. Je ne parle pas Francais maitnas???

I was diagnosed in 1945 when I was 6. Now I have been Type 1 for 64 years and I am very healthy. I started pumping in 2007 with the Minimed 522 pump. Which one do you use?

Ask all the questions you want. We are pleased to have you here!!!

Richard

Hi Sami,

Welcome to our country. I took French a long time ago in High School. I am 66 now. Come here more often!! We love having you. Your English is fine. Do not worry about it.

I am sure that there are others from other countries. I have Type 2 Diabetes. I was diagnosed about 12 years ago.

Ruth
