Welcome to Diabetes Forums dross!

I was hooked up to my pump on Christmas Day of 2001. I have also had type one since 1986. So I guess we have both been at this for awhile.

Glad you found us and joined in! :beer: Congrats on your new pump!

Welcome from a T2. Hope I never have to have a pump but if I do you guys will hear it before the relatives.

Tell us more about the 3 year old. Bet she's a living doll. Can you post a picture?

Ahh Guinness - not my tipple im ashamed to say !! (I prefer the Vodka and Diet Coke).

I find the pump the best thing ever - HbA1c went from 7.8 to 5.9 in a couple of months. Id highly recommend it.

...Do I work in aluminium - eh! No... (I dont geddit - is it a joke going over my head)?? :T

... As for my 3 year old daughter - she is nuts - ill post a pic as soon as I figure out (A bit of a tecnophobe here)!

Sorry... that isn't very flattering :smarty:
