Hi everybody! New to DF, NOT new to Type I--41 years, age 11.
BEEN THERE (no control, good control),
DONE THAT (U-40, U-80, U-100, NPH, Regular, Lente, Ultralente, Beef/Pork, Humulin (hate it), Humalog, Lantus, 1/day shot, 2/day shot, 5/day shot, pump in 1983--bad experience lasted 5 days, now Cozmo pump since 2004--LOVE it!),
GOT ALL THE T-SHIRTS (once hosp. 3 times 1 month w/ DKA, only child died at 2 yrs. w/ heart defect due to my bad control in pregnancy, many years w/o insurance, severe hypos w/ convulsions 10-15 times).
NO COMPLICATIONS!! Except...hypo unawareness (I think it's the Humulin), a little gastroparesis, and that's all! I test several times/day, up to 8. I like to keep my A1C 7-ish due to my unawareness. Last A1C 6.9. I have a GREAT endo in Dallas--Priscilla Hollander--most endos are arrogant jerks. One called me "little Professor" (OK, I am a college teacher, but he was calling me that 'cuz of my logbook).
So--that's me! And, my name really is Dottie Love.
