Hi everybody! Though I've had diabetes for 18 years and a computer for however long, this is, ashamedly, my first time on a forum. However, I have maintained a devout interest in all things diabetes for quite some time as manifest by my recent completion of medical school, research project in diabetes treatment and work as an after-hours tech support rep for Dexcom. I think my scholastic pursuits is my best excuse for not being here before. However, I'm eager to chat with and discuss all things related to diabetes and my training has given me a huge number of resources regarding all of the latest treatments and devices, as well as future innovations.
A little about me: I was diagnosed at age 11, and went through the gamut of different diabetes-related issues through childhood and adolescence. I had a healthy baby boy in 2004 and am expecting my 2nd baby on April 3rd! My current treatment is novolog via a Minimed pump (though I used to use Cozmo and preferred it), Dexcom CGM and symlin SQ. I'm anxious to chat with anyone with questions about these meds/treatments. I've only used a pump for 5 years and was reluctant to start (cosmetic reasons) - but am so glad I did!
Please tell me if this isn't the right place for this info - I don't know what I'm doing yet but promise to improve! I'm taking a year off before residency and hope to meet more people with diabetes to share and learn from each other!
