That's me on the left. The rest are my lovely family.
Hi I'm Marc. Been diabetic since 1977 (2 when diagnosed) so have seen it all! From 4 injections a day it's a needle 15mm long on th end of a metal syringe, to 2 a day and serious limits on food during my most rebellious years, to carb counting and DAFNE and finally onto an insulin pump 4 years ago. Just started this eek with CGMS and love it! Onto the minimed 640g now and love pump therapy. Best thing ever from a diabetes standpoint (short of a cure!)
