Yikes I have not logged on in over a year. I hated the pump - only wore it for a month. I'm still afraid of needles after three years, though I finally weaned myself off of the pediatric needle tips. A spring-loaded giant needle inserting a plastic tube? Didn't go well. Manually inserting wasn't much better. My A1C continues to stay under 7.0, but I have routine spikes up to 300 still and need to pay more attention. I'd like the continuous blood glucose monitor, but like the pump, REALLY don't want to carry around a pager-style anything. Hard enough for me to keep my work pass clipped to myself all day, and I rarely have pockets in my work clothes. I can't wait for things to get smaller.

Ross said… - Yes, we've got Coke Zero and Diet Coke in the UK: they've got identical chemical make-up, just that Coke Zero is in black packaging and therefore "for men". Really. The commercial on TV has a whole mob of lowbrowed cavemen grunting their way down a suburban street talking about "football" (soccer) and "birds" (chicks) and "Coke Zero". I wasn't convinced...

- I was diagnosed at 28 too, after about a year (I kid you not) of ALL the symptoms. Eating ten jammy doughnuts a day and STILL losing weight, thought I was some kind of miracle boy. Late onset T1-ers all the way.

- hi liz, thanks for the note! i hope you're having a good day today. maybe we should start a "late t1 diagnosis" crew. i was diagnosed at age 19 and when i tell people i have type one, they are always like "oooo, does that mean you've never eaten candy before?"
