| | 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!  Congrats on your new pump! |

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)??
... 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)! |

| | Hi and Welcome to DF... glad you found us! Dross - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Quote: |
Dross is a mass of solid impurities floating on a molten metal bath. It appears usually on the melting of low melting point metals or alloys such as tin, lead, zinc or aluminum, or by oxidation of the metal(s).
