Hi All,

My name is Michelle and I am 33 years old. In 2009 I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes and have been using an insuling pump since April of 2010. I'm excited to see other Type 1's on here :) It will be nice having people who understand what it is like to have a low while exercising or have higher blood sugars then you were expecting based on what you have eaten. Overall I am just excited to be here and thanks for including me in the group :)

    Hi Michelle! Nice to meet you. I pump also. And use a Dexcom. My Dexcom is my bff:) I've been a T1 for almost 40 years. It's not gotten the best of my and I won't let it. You can add me as an MFP buddy if you would like!

    Hi Michelle!

    Welcome to the group :-) My name is Megan - I am 27 years old and have been a Type 1 Diabetic since the age of 9. I recently switched to a Mini Med pump in 2011 and I LOVE IT. Especially now, since I am 25 weeks pregnant, it makes controlling my blood sugar during this time much easier (at least in my opinion).

    Feel free to add me as a friend!
