[QUOTE="donnieboy, post: 1954906, member: 472665"] I'm a T1 for 30 years and a new pumper. The pump has great advantages but some disadvantages as well. For one, the infusion set can become kinked. In my case, that meant a trip to the ED, and two days in the ICU (US). Plus I was not feeling very chipper in my DKA state. However, I have managed to keep a pretty good glucose control and regularly exercise playing racquetball and squash. I plan on playing for many more years. My sister died of Multiple Sclerosis, my parents cancer, my grandparents Strokes. There are so many worse things to deal with. Diabetes is not fun but totally manageable if you take it seriously.
