Good morning to all,

I am the ProudMOM of a teen diabetic, diagnosed two years ago and on a Mini-Med 715 pump. I have been reading your forums for awhile now and decided to join the ranks as I see so much great advice, response, and support.

My son is a year round athlete and does a pretty good job managing his diabetes during all of his activities. However, we are always open to new ideas and suggestions. I look forward to participating in these forums and getting to know all of you. Your support to one another is incredible!

Hiya ProudMom! Nice to meet you

Sounds like your son is doing great with this, and he has fantastic support from his Mom too. It doesn't get any better than that eh

Good Morning Back To You Proud Mom(PM) And Welcome To
Tony's Forums. I'm so glad to hear that your Son is
doing so well with his Diabetes and participating in school athletics
and other activities. Brings back some good memories for me of School.

We all learn something new here and I'm sure that you will find much

Hi Proud mom

Welcome to the site. I just joined a few days ago. I think it will be very helpful for me as I have type 2 diabetes and I've had it for four years.

I hope you get some good information for your son. Being an athlete will help him.
