Ok - good idea, starting a discussion that is.
How about "Getting to know US!"
First question might be, "How long have you been pumping?"
Second question, "Where do you live? (state, country, whatever)"
My answers:
1 - 3 months
2 - New Hampshire

I live in Stoughton, MA, I'm a T2 (diagnosed at age 38 at normal weight), was on oral meds for five years, have been on insulin for 23 years, and have been pumping for 12 years this Halloween- what a night to start on the pump, that was!

We have similar dx's. I was 55 and it took awhile to be dx'd with LADA.
I live in the mountains of NH.
I have a blog - http://dmeanderings.wordpress.com/
Nice to meet you!

Permalink Reply by Brian Wittman on August 23, 2012 at 7:38pm I was diagnosed as a type 2 in the early 80's, although I was warned about the possibility of diabetes in 1971. I was re-diagnosed with LADA in 2009 and received my Animas Ping in August of 2011, and began pumping on 9/13/2011. Since being diagnosed, I have never felt better. I would be hard pressed to go back to shots.
I live in northwestern Minnesota.
