i got type1 at age 8 or grade 2 in school.

I'm 30 now the insulin pump liturly changed my life i remember when i was on the 1 needle before breakfast one before dinner and one long lasting at night before bed. it was terrible for control.

then went to a pen jab yourself every time you eat better control but still not the best.

thinking back to high school i now remember feeling like i had maple syrup running through my veins my head always felt like it was up in the mist with no clarity (your body doesn't feel chemically right)-----------high blood sugar i was always higher than i should have been

i really think i could have done OK at school if i didn't have this disease or if i and everyone else had access to these newer types of pumps back then.

I'm now paying for that with failing eyesight. one eye is already partially blind very scary thing to have your sight slip away from you

makes me happy knowing kids these days have access to this new technology to help stop future complications its made it a lot easier to live with
