jk. 31 year old guy. But I do have "juvenile" diabetes! :D

I honestly have no explanation as to why it took me so long to join a diabetes discussion forum. I'm a complete geek and I have posted on other types of forums prolifically, for years.

The usual particulars:

Diagnosed at 18 years old with the usual sudden, ghoulish symptoms of the onset of type-1 diauhbeetis. . .I was in denial at first, naturally, but over the years have come to a sort of armistice with the condition.

I use the Medtronic Paradigm pump and had a 507c prior to that. Been pumping since 1998.

I live in Orange County, CA, and work as the IT Director for a law firm. I exercise a lot and spend as much time at the beach as possible. Fiercely libertarian.

Looking forward to getting to know you all and doing what I can to help out!

Welcome to this forum -- no excuses for you waiting so long!

I love the quote in your signature . . . . "wait, there's a harder way". This reminds me of . . . . my dear mother!

Have a great day,

I'm a juvi too like you (diagnosed at 7). Makes us all young at heart! I just discovered this website the other day like yourself - and wish I'd linked up much earlier. Have always felt very much alone with my disease - but not ANYMORE!!!

Welcome!!
