Smile Wanted to introduce myself.....





Hi everyone! Wanted to stop in and say hi and introduce myself.
I am a Type 2, but am wondering if I am not a Type 1.5. Different people say different things, so I'm not sure, guess it doesn't really matter much to anyone but me, lol. I have been a diabetic for 20 years and am currently waiting, and have been waiting for months, for the insurance company to either deny or approve the insulin pump. The waiting seems endless.
I look forward to meeting and getting to know you all. Thanks for having me!

What's the difference between 1.5 & 2?

I'm also new at this and don't know the difference.

Hi Kimmy and welcome to the family.

On the pump, the waiting is quite annoying, but sometimes it takes some serious prodding by both patient and doctor to get the insurance's wheels turning. I hope the outcome is a good one, and that they approve your pump for you.

We look forward to your posts, and glad you're with us!
