Yes, it was hard to manage diabetes before all the pumps and glucose meters was developed. I remember the first meter that I got...I was 17. The cost of them was around $300 and they were much bigger than they are now. Before meters I checked my urine for sugar. When I went to the dr it would take soooo looong to get the results of my blood sugar. They would take a tube of blood and put it in some sort of machine that went around really fast...and after a while, I got my results. It seems like it was always in the 200's when I was young. I went on the pump when I was pregnant with my daughter. The pump was called the "blue brick". It weighed 3 pounds. Imagine strapping that thing on. It was awful, especially when my belly got bigger. But, it did not take minimed long to reduce the size. So....thanks to the pump, I have done great!

Hi Libia, Glad you joined us. I have had type 1 for 38 years...I thought I knew it all...but this site is so helpful! I saw where you wear a minimed pump. I have worn minimed for 25 years. I was on of the first on the pump. I am lookint at getting the CGMS. Do you have that? I am fighting with my insurance for coverage. I have started takin symlin and it would be a great tool to get me regulated without all the 40 something blood sugars I am experiencing.
