Hello everyone o/

Been living with type one for almost 12 years now (since 16) and am at a point now where I feel I have learned a lot about growing up with Diabetes, and being diagnosed at an age where I can remember life without it, that hopefully I can do some good for the community!

I have been a professional actor for 5 years which has been an interesting journey for my diabetes and have had to come up with crazy coping methods (Who knew that some Dry Ice was basically liquid maple syrup and thus had an affect on my levels during a show).

I've got quite the tale of hope to tell with regards to pump funding which i'll post in the relevant place on the forum so if that's something you're interested in then look out for my post over there!

Look forward to meeting you all!

May your body be healthy and your levels low friends.

Hi @Tonk, I always salute those who've been riding the beast for so long.

Hi @Tonk. In my experience dry ice is frozen CO2 great for putting in washing up liquid solution for crazy mad scientist bubbles.
