Been T1 for 41 years and looking to get better control now as I've switched to the Pens just recently.

Hi Dave! I'm at about 42 years...very close to your history. I love my pens...so much I have not desire for a pump! I'm doing very well with Lantus/Humalog pens. Very convenient!

[Dave101]

Good to hear, Alice

I think NovoRapid is the same as Humalog. That's what I'm on and Lantus.

Welcome to DF Dave!

...how many Dave's we got now, anyway?

27 "Dave", 22 "David" - but that doesn't include the ones that don't have "Dave" or "David" as part of the user name. I'll leave that as an exercise for the reader :D

Welcome Dave[26] ;)

Why so long getting pens? Ok to carry around, but I always preferred syringes for some reason.

I guess my control was ok until about 1 year ago when I started to increase my insulin experimentally. The last 12 months I began showing signs of over insulin doses, and so the hospital thought I'd be better off on the Pens.

They never associated the control issues with the experimentation? Typical. I'm surprised they didn't recommend prepping with Johnson's baby powder first ;) Most of us distrust our medical staff. My current moron wants me to only test three times a day. Grrrrr.

Cool - another Dave.
Welcome to club DF.
Most Canadians would know about a lil show called Kids in the Hall. Talking about all these Daves reminded me of a skit they did called
YouTube - These are the Daves I know (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8b-N28eG2go)

These are the Daves I know.
Check it out - its worth a lil laugh.

Well, as my appointmets were 12months apart I had plenty of time to mess things up by myself.

I'm not doing too bad on these pens now. I've received a lot of help from people on diabetic forums which I'm very grateful for.
Don't get me started on my current GP please. I go to see him tomorrow regarding my repeat prescription that in 7 years they've only manged to get right once.

Hi Dave and Welcome. Glad to see some more "long timers" joining up (23 yrs myself).

[caswellhb]

Hello and welcome.
As you have probably already noticed, the people here are great. You couldn't go wrong by coming here.

Dave, I must disagree!:D

[Metermaid]

Hi, I'm just new to this site too! Pens....? No pump? The docs keep wanting me to try the pump...but I'm not a fan.
Talk to you soon...
