can I ask those who had diabetes during childhood:
how was their HbA1c during childhood.
at what age they were put on the pump,and did the pump improved their diabetes control as kids?
those who are on Lantus or levemir,how many units/kg/per day they are on ( of these long acting insulins)

the pump is recently given for free in some of big hospitals,not many kids are on the pump,many on lantus and aspart,and good control depends on patients and their families.During adolescence the diabetes control may deteriorate,it is a battle to contol diabetes for many patients here.

salam,
I treat children with diabetes,so I see them grow up with diabetes and know what they go through,medically and emotionally.
I am sure I will learn from you so I can help my patients more

Was born, three months preemie, but did not get the 'betes until the age of 28. I'm 52 now, so even though I was not BORN with this, I have had it over 20 years.

Hi, I was diagnosed in 1970 at 10 years old. So..I am coming up on 38 years in December. I have been very fortunate and have no complications at all. I have been pumping for 24 years and I truly think that is the reason I am so healthy today.

I have had Type I diabetes since 1975, so that would be 33, this must be the group for me!

Hi Kayla

There's also a diabetes veterans group for people who have had diabetes for over 20 years.

I have had diabetes for 27 years, found out a right after my 4th birthday. What a terrible age for a child to find out your a diabetic, I was always that odd ball that had to pass up on sweets in class on birthdays.
