Thank you noblehead,always read your very wise comments,keep up your good work

JRW,please jump back on the band wagon and get your control back,I know it's easier said than done,but,if you do,you will go on to enjoy your life.It's much easier to live with good control than bad.Good luck to you and a very long life.

I have been T1 for over 54 years,with only a couple of very minor complications and no kidney problems,bar for the first 8 or 9 years when I abused my diabetes.For the most part of my life I have maintained pretty good control,that's not to say I haven't fallen of the rails for a day or two...

Diagnosed aged 13 now aged 67 and still going strong,this bloody disease ain't going to get me.

Totally agree with noblehead I had the same experience and confirmed this with my C G M

As @tim2000s has said,I use the same set up and have done for the last year,with the auto-suspend no more hypo problems for me.

It certainly is for me,hope your mother is feeling better no.

I have been T1 for over 54 years and I am 67 old and have all my teeth and only one filling,I have maintained good dental hygiene all my life.

Hi Moodie,congratulations on getting a pump,I started pumping last year after 53 years of injections and I went for the 640g and I have never looked back,I've been on the pump 1 year and not a days problems,and Medtronic customer service are brilliant to deal with.GOOD LUCK.

I am not a career,but I have been type1 for over 54year and have been able to look after myself very well bar for the last 4 years,because I lost my hypo awareness and had 4 episodes of unconsciousness,none previously in my diabetic life,my lovely wife hated injections,was taught how to give me...

Hello and welcome [emoji3]

Rember.that only to wellLibby

I'm 67 and had T1 for over 54 years and there are many more older than me with T1,providing you look after the diabetes I can't see why you shouldn't achieve normal life expectancy,I certainly intend too.

I was able to get funding for a CGM when I got my pump,thanks mostly to my Endo and DSN,it was quite a battle,and many meetings and took about 14 months.The reason I got a CGM was that I had totally lost my 'hypo' awareness.I am into my 55th year of being T1.If you have any specific...

I'm into my 55th year of being T1,it was a nice surprise to receive my medal,thanks to my DSN and I carry on just the same and don't think to much about it,it's been part of my life for so long it all just becomes natural.

I have had many meters over my many years of being T1 and I think it all boils down to personal choice and what you personally comfortable with,I'm sorry this is probably not much help to you.

I do set changes every 3 days and reservoirs every 3 days,I asked my 'Endo' why change reservoirs every 3 days and his reply was that insulin starts to deteriorate after 3 days when stored in plastic.

Like himtoo,I was given the same advice,54 years ago and I took on this advice and my feet are in good order.

I was 66 when I got my pump and would not go back to MDI.

I remember all these items only to well and,yes I remember the steps that changed colour.Life is so much easier these days,thank god.
