Hi from Philadelphia area (USA)

[Johnny C]

Hi fellow Insulin aficionados Johnny C here. I’ve been Dx since I was twelve n been on the pump for god knows how long since 1995 I think?. Needless to say I love the pump n even though it as well and the Dx can been a pain in the *** every now and then I still manage to keep things real (so to speak). I’m glad I found this site. Looking to hear from people in the greater Philadelphia area (where I live) or Sydney Australia (where my relatives are from n I visit) or any Dx’er who wants to contact me don’t be shy. Thanks:itsme:

Hey Johnny C, welcome to the forums. You picked a good site with plenty of laughs, lots of information, nice people, and any questions you need answered just ask.

: ) You don't have to be from Philadelphia Cheryl. I'm happy to hear from anyone really. Yeah 28 and Dx at twelve. When I found out I was at my doctors office and they tested my sugar to be 220. I didn't feel that sick but I knew something was up cause I was going to the bathroom every five seconds. I remember testing my blood sugar using a tracer two meter had to wipe the strip with a cotton ball lol. At least they had meter back then.
Thanks for welcoming me everyone!
