| | | Greetings all....
My name is John and I'm from Tampa, Fl. I was diagnosed T-2 in July 2005 by my wife the nurse practitioner. At first I was devistated...now I'm working hard to be healthy. I have been using the Medtronics Guardian CGMS since Dec. 2007 with good results...for the most part. My A1C is a lot better now, but not where we want it to be. The order just went in for an Animas Ping pump. It should arrive in about a week. Anyone in the Tampa area want to meet for coffee? It's on me.

Glad you're here & we look forward to hearing more from you.
