New to the forum, sort of new to the Diabetes world. Our 12 year old son diagnosed just over a year ago. We are now researching the pump and am getting overwhelmed with information provided and the decisions to make. It's nice to see the information provided by others here in this format. Plus the support that we have had over the last year has been incredible! Seems there is an answer to any question which is great!

Hi Dorothy, welcome! This is a very good diabetes support group. There is also another group intended especially for parents of diabetic children. You might want to try that one too. Here is the link:

I have been type 1 for 66 years and I am very healthy. With good control we can have long, healthy lives.

Thanks for the link! I think I have been there before. When he was first diagnosed, I did a lot of researching, then relaxed a bit. Now that we are researching pumps, it feels all new again!
