| |  Long Time Type I
I found this site while looking for info. on Ping pump. I've been a Type I diabetic since 1960. I'm on a medtronic 512 paradigm pump, but am upgrading to the Animas Ping. I've had BAD customer service with Medtronic!
I'm doing very well thanks to my parents taking me to a good dr. as a kid and NEVER treating me like I was sick!
Just wanted to say "hi" from NJ. |

You and I started the same year. We're close to the half century mark with this stuff!
We're glad you found us & look forward to more posts from you.

| | | Hello Bethrein, welcome to our community! You are a 48 year year veteran of Type 1. That's great. 1 hope you will like the Ping pump. I have been Type 1 for 62 years and I am very healthy. I am using the MM 522 pump. I hope you will continue with your good control and be a 60+ year veteran like me. Lol!
Richard
