Hi ! Call me Belle. I`ve had diabetes for two years now.
I`m really looking forward to meeting people here with the same condition. Add me up and we`ll share new things we discover, ideas, stories, suggestions and whatever else there is to share. =)
At the moment, I`m getting ready for an insulin pump. I`m choosing between, Animas and Medtronic. =) (There`s a starter.)
Anyone have any opinions ??? <3
Thankss ! <3

Hey Belle! I'm, working on getting a pump too! I chose Animas because it does the lowest basal rates available (I'm still honeymooning) and because it's waterproof :)

Welcome to Juvenation! I have been a diabetic for 3 years. No, pump for me I just sing "I am a dartboard" at every injection! LOL
Hi Belle!
My name is Ken, and I have had diabetes for 9 years. I am also new to Juvenation, and looking to connect with people.
I have been on an Animas pump for 7 years and absolutely LOVE it! I am also on a Dexcom CGM, so if you have any questions about that as well I will be happy to help!
Good choice going on a pump, it makes life 100x easier!

My name is Sarah and I'm 15. I've had T1 for a little over 10 years now and have had a pump for almost 7 years. I personally love the Medtronic pumps but that's just my opinion! :) I think you'll really like going on the pump, makes daily life so much easier!
Anyways, welcome and feel free to ask any questions or add me! I'm always looking to meet to people! :)
