wow, you've lots of experience then. Are you injecting or pumping for management of your type 1? I'm sure you'll find this a great place to share and find support too.

I have used a pump for the last 5-6 years. I injected prior to that. I have found the pump to be a simplifying addition to my management of my disease. Just one more piece to a complex puzzle...onlymep said:welcome Outlaw

Glad to be here. When I became diabetic the doctor told my parents I wouldn't make it past 25. Thus, the Outlaw moniker...Raindance said:

Thanks for the feedback. I have always worked to not let diabetes control my life. For anyone interested I am on Twitter and Facebook as Outlaw Diabetic. You can google Outlaw Diabetic to find my thoughts. Keep up the fight. It's a daily battle.

Jen,
Welcome to the club. Glad to help where I can.
Beating diabetes is a daily battle. With focus, patience and discipline you win most days. Some days the disease just hits you when you least expect it. That is ok and should be expected. The key is having good people around you and taking a mature approach in prioritizing the decisions in life we all deal with diabetic,or not.
Best,
