Yes! She doesn't have to let diabetes stand in the way of the things she wants to do: play sports, be successful, have kids someday if she wants. Let her know that she is not alone. Sometimes things are harder and take more time for us, but persistence pays off. :happy:

Hi, everyone! I have been a T1 for 30 years and am now 35 years old. I'm a stay-at-home mom with 2 kids who are my joy. I wear a Minimed pump and have for 15 years or so. Would love to have any of you as friends. There are very few who understand the difficulty of losing weight and having diabetes. I've decided that…

Wow, your starting weight and goal are both really close to mine. I am just getting started--have lost 4.5 lbs. so far. Great work! Can't wait to see pix of the end result!

Thank you!

My kids :happy:

Hi! The pump was definitely a great option for me during my pregnancy. Much easier to make adjustments when I needed them. If you're serious about taking care of yourself and becoming pregnant, don't let anyone tell you to avoid becoming a mom because of your diabetes. Be sure to have a specialist OBGYN. They're very used…

I really had to go very low-carb, adjusting my insulin as I went. I also worked out 5-6 days a week, alternating lifting and cardio. I was also single so I had a lot of time to focus on getting healthy.

Actually my pump (Minimed Paradigm) has brought me a ton of freedom! It's really not as scary as you might think. It allows me to basically not have to eat on a regular meal schedule if my day gets crazy or eat a little extra dessert once-in-a-while. :) I can also dial it back if I know that I'm going to be exercising,…

Nice to meet you! I agree there are very few who really understand. Best wishes to you! We can do this!

Awesome, thanks!

Thanks! These sound like what I like to listen to!

Keep it up! Thanks for the encouragement!
