Hi! I'm from Northwest Georgia. Both my little brother (dx 2008) and I (dx 1984) are type 1s. Its kind of weird, because he was adopted. My cousin has it and my grandma who passed away in the mid 80's had it.

I'm so sorry to hear about your ER visit. I hope the girls are recovering and that you are all able to catch some sleep and keep BG in control. Hang in there!

Thanks for your comment Jonna. We are going through a bout of sickness in the house now, the girls were both in the ER getting IV fluids until 3am this morning, so right now were just battling this...I will definately be interested in talking with you as the time gets closer to pumping :)

Hi Heather, I have two kids w/ Type 1 (ages 3 and 8 now). I've networked with a lot of other Type 1 parents and I met a woman who has twin boys who were diagnosed. I think they were around 2 when they were dx. They're both pumping now. I can ask her if she has any advice for you as far as starting the pump. I can tell you that both of my kids are on the Minimed. My daughter is on the Paradigm and my son is on the newest pump, the Revel. The Revel can administer the insulin in much smaller doses, so it was perfect for my son who started pumping when he was 2 1/2 yrs old. The Revel is also set up to work with a continuous glucose monitor. Overall, we're very happy with Medtronic. We initially wanted the Omnipod, but our insurance wouldn't cover it at the time. Feel free to e-mail me if you have specific ?? about the pump. Good luck!

I should add that one of my sons (7) was tested for antibodies and so far he has none, thank God. My oldest son (half brother to my other children) is 14 and he also tested negative for antibodies but his bio father has type 1 dx at age 11.

Hi everyone, my name is Heather and I am from Northern Wisconsin. I have identical twin girls who are both Type 1...they are both 6 years old. Molly was dx 7/2010 and Abbey dx 9/2010. Ever since the girls were diagnosed I have yet to find another family with type 1 twins. Anyone?
Also we are going to get the girls on pumps this summer, I wanted to know if anyone would suggest we do them at the same time or one at a time??? Also, we are considering Medtronic Minimed...thoughts/comments welcome! Thank you!

My youngest daughter assumes that since her sisters have D that she will also eventually get it. She even asks us to finger poke her occasionally, just to make sure! So far she is autoantibody negative, but she still has a long ways to go!

Greetings!
I've had Type I since I was 3 months old. My youngest brother was diagnosed with it at the age of 29 a few years back. We keep on teasing our middle bro that it's only a matter of time. My maternal grandfather had myasthenia gravis. Apart from that there's no one else with any autoimmune problems.
