As a new member to tudiabetes I feel very welcomed. In reality I've been using this site for a while. When I had a question I would google for the answers and read a lot on tudiabetes. Recently I felt like I should join this great site become part of a community, a family of people whose lives have been touched by diabetes in some way. I am now excited about the new technology out there and for once believe that there will be a cure for diabetes in my lifetime and if not a cure something real… Continue

Hawk,
I am different than most. I have not seen an endo since 1969 and have been type 1 since 1959 and still have no complications of any kind. To this day, I still inject the same type of animal insulin I was on in the 50s. Now I have to import it from Britain, and do not see endos, dietitians, nor educator nurses and have not done so for 42 years. My family doctor booked a compete so she had 45 minutes to ask me questions about diabetes because my numbers always blow them away. I would never trust electronics with my insulin because I was an electronics designer for 40 years and designed circuits that were launched into space. If pumps were designed to the same standards they would cost $100 thousand each but sadly they are built for nearly nothing in China.

For me, animal insulin is truly a cure for diabetes. I don't ever hope or think about a cure because today, I am normal, and I know I will remain this way till the end.
