Hello, I am a new member but a longtime viewer of your forum. I have "used" your site to look for information and finally decided to register.
I am 44 and have been a type 1 for 20 years. My biggest problem was terrible lows, partially due to my obsession with keeping my bs "normal". This caused me problems and stress on my public safety job. I have been on the Cozmo pump for two years and it has virtually eliminated these lows and I love it. My A1c's are usually in the 5.5 to 6.0 range.
I guess that's a long winded way to say Hi!

Hey Jim!
