Welcome, Julie and Michael!

It is wonderful to see younger diabetics assuming their own care. The sooner a diabetic knows their own body, the better the control may be, I think.

Best wishes,

Joan (challenged with diabetes for 36 years)

Hi I’m a new member and would like to introduce myself. My name is
Julie and my son Michael has type 1 diabetes. Michael has had this
disease since he was three years old and he is now ten. Michael
started using the pump last July and we love it. He especially likes
not getting all those shots everyday. At ten years old, Michael has
taken a very active part in caring for himself. He changes out his
site on his own and is very aware of his body when he isn’t feeling
right. He knows exactly what he needs to do to make things right
again. My husband and I are so proud of him.
Julie

Hi, I developed type on in may of 04 when I went to the hospital with
what I thought was the flu, only to wake up from DKA and coma for
days later and leave the hospital a few weeks later. I am also a
college student and wife and mother. I REALLY look foward to speaking
with others that have the same type, I have talked on other lists and
occarsionally get exasperated with the misconceptions and all of type
one. Ilook foward to talking to you all

Hi everyone I just joined this group. I have had type 1 diabetes
for 22 years, I thought I would join this group for new
information. I have been pumping for a year and love it. Blood
sugars are still up and down I need to follow a diet like I had to
do 22 years ago, I bet that would make a world of a difference. Talk
to you all later. Goodnight.

Hi Sue, my name is Carol and I usually just lurk around but in answer to your question. Yes, my mother, grandmother and my brother were all diabetics. I’m the only Type 1 in the bunch.

Take care,
Carol
