Welcome Daddyo,

It's good to meet you! :)

I am a type 1 as well, dx'ed in 2002 at age 24. I was on MDI for about a year before moving to the pump and, honestly, I must admit I've had my ups and downs with it. Right now, things are going pretty well so I LOVE IT. :p

Wow, I'm sure you've had some interesting experiences with diabetes in the past 23 years. I'm sure you could share some stories ;) . I think it's great that you are doing so well with the pump and that your A1c improved so much! :thumbsup: . That's an awesome accomplishemnt. I'm sure if you keep working at it, your next one will be even better.

Good luck and, hopefully, we'll see you around :)
