Please help me with my senior project!

[Kelly1984]

Hi everyone. I just joined the diabetes forum today and I am really excited about it. I had no idea how much support was out here on the internet. I am a type I diabetic...diagnosed at age 12 and went on the insulin pump a year and half ago. My passion is helping other diabetics...I'm finishing up my senior year at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo in California as a Nutrition major. I am going to be Registered Dietitian and hopefully CDE so I can work with diabetics. In order to graduate I have to finish my senior project. Ive decided to compare HbA1C levels of type I diabetics on the pump to those not on the pump. I would really appreciate anyone who would be willing to fill out my survey. I will also post my results at the end of the month.

Hi everyone. I just joined the diabetes forum today and I am really excited about it. I had no idea how much support was out here on the internet. I am a type I diabetic...diagnosed at age 12 and went on the insulin pump a year and half ago. My passion is helping other diabetics...I'm finishing up my senior year at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo in California as a Nutrition major. I am going to be Registered Dietitian and hopefully CDE so I can work with diabetics. In order to graduate I have to finish my senior project. Ive decided to compare HbA1C levels of type I diabetics on the pump to those not on the pump. I would really appreciate anyone who would be willing to fill out my survey. I will also post my results at the end of the month.
