    Hi back!! I actually just joined this group a few minutes ago, but have been on MFP for about 6 months now.. to no real success. I've really struggled with my blood sugars... weird highs mid-morning, crazy lows in the middle of the night... I started losing weight and exercising and it's time for me to re-focus on my diabetes. Diagnosed as a teenage and currently on the medtronic pump!!!
  • Hi ladies.

    I've had Type 1 for almost 19 years, been on a pump for 3.5 years. Good luck with your weight loss journey!
  • Hi girls!!

    Hello Everyone! :flowerforyou:

    I just joined this site a couple of days ago and I am loving it so far! It has definitely gotten me back on track with eating better and living a healthier lifestyle.

    I have had T1 diabetes since the 3rd grade (1994). I just got a Medtronic Pump about a year ago and I love it! I don't know why I waited so long!

    Good luck on your weight loss everyone! I'm hoping to get back to my wedding weight at about 165 by May - 7 lbs. to go! Hopefully I can get down to 150 by the end of summer.

    I am also super excited about this group - It is nice to connect with other T1's!!!
  • SO..... it's been a while since this post....

    How do YOU like the pump?
    Do you use the CGM too??

    I've had several insulin pumps since 2000.
    I'm currently using the Medtronic Minimed 722 with CGM.
