Hi,
I’ve been a type 1 diabetic for 28 years. I’m currently using NPH and
Humalog, but I got a MiniMed Paradigm pump yesterday! Can’t wait to
start using it.
Can you tell us more about yourself? My A1cs have been around 7 most
of the time. How about you?

Welcome to the group! How old were you when you were diagnosed? Do
you have any tips?

HI
My name is Peri,
I am a 22 yr old female from Canberra, Australia.
I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes on New Years Eve 2002.
So i am still pretty new to all this.
I’m on insulin injections 2 times a day and bsl’s 4 times a day.
I was only in hospital for 2 days, which wasnt long enough really.

Hi,
I’m not sure if I’ve found the right place, but I’ve been looking for
an online support group for a while.
About a month ago I was hospitalized in DKA. I had been using an
insulin pump, but my doc talked to an endocrinologist who told her
that is a pump failure. So I’ve been trying to get settled on
humalog and lantus.
I’m really struggling to cope. I want to throw my syringes, insulin
and log book as far as humanly possible. I want to forget that this
disease even exists.
That’s all I’ll say for now….maybe I’ll post more later.

Jenny-
I’m new here, myself, and I’m dealing with my 13-year-old daughter
who was just diagnosed with TypeI diabetes. She is also on Humalog
and Lantus. I understand the feeling of wanting to throw this whole
difficulty into the ocean. In my case, I wish it were *me* having
to deal with it and not my daughter. How long have you had
diabetes? How long were you on the pump? Don’t feel like you have
to answer, but I would be interested and I just wanted you to know I
care. Please write back if you feel like it. In the meantime, I’ll
keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

Good Morning Jack,
8 O How does a pump work for you son, given his job? (Wondering how the tubing could possibly withstand the heat of walking into burning buildings, even with all the equipment, etc.)
Wow.
