    Type 1: What are your HbA1c test results?

    Well so far it has really helped prevent me from getting lows and I'm feeling better. My numbers aren't so extreme with ups and downs. Definitely recommend a pump for you :)

    Im lost :(

    Hey I'm 28 and a type one diabetic. The best simple advice is look at labels and see how many Total carbohydrates are in things. The less the better. I compare bread for example and go for the lowest total carbs. I only drink water or tea (with no sugar). Diet soda only makes me crave sweeter...

    Hello everyone!

    Yes it does, just feel bad that it isn't offered with coverage. I work for a hospital that covers it. I'm know I am very fortunate.

    Type 1: What are your HbA1c test results?

    My last one was a 7.4 but I just got on the pump and had some major highs until we adjusted my basal rate. I'm hoping to see much improvement after a few months of the pump... to be continued...

    Hello everyone!

    Will you be able to get a GMS with your pump? My training for that is this Tuesday. I think it will help because I don't even feel myself getting low until it's like 40 or 50. The GMS is suppose to send a signal to the pump and alert me of my lows.

    Hello everyone!

    Yes it's helping smooth out and preventing lows. My nurse is working with me closely adjusting my basal rates.

    What are your hypo symptoms?

    It feels like being drunk. I actually used to drink but stopped to just very special occasions because the lows are enough for me! Blah...I get really clumsy too.
