Hello everyone! My name is Cody, and I just recently joined this website. It seems very helpful!

I was diagnose in August of 2005, so a little over two years ago, with Type 1 diabetes. I was first put on the needle, then changed to a Deltec Cosmo pump, then back to the needle. My first question is this: do you have a perference? To me, the pump seemed somewhat easier, but the old-fashioned syringes seem to regulate my blood sugar more effectively.

Also, I hear talk of this new OmniPod insulin pump. I checked it out, and it seems very interesting. I'm unsure how having a "bulge" of insulin on you will feel, though.

My final, and probably most important question, is: do you have any advice on how to better control your diabetes? I try hard, I honestly TRY. I don't blow it off, and I don't think, "I'll check my blood sugar later." But honestly, I forget ALL THE TIME, to check my blood, or even give shots at meals. I don't know what the problem is; because I obviously know I DO have diabetes. Does anyone have a suggestion on how I can try and fix this problem?

Thanks for everything.
