TuDiabetes - A Community for People Touched by Diabetes

I have had diabetes since 2002, so by some standards I am a newbie. By other standards, I've had diabetes quite a while

How many years have you or your loved one had diabetes? Let's pull out those calendars, people! :)

7 years and on my second pump. The first 6 months doing shots made it a big part of my life. With the pump it is just testing & pushing buttons several times a day, the rest of the day seems just like 1999 again.
