I am 68 years old. Using the hdawg1 as my name on the site. Have been a Type 1 for 51 years. Diagnosed on 4/14/72--I weighed 104 pounds in a college physical. I started the 16th chapter of what is now JDRF. I have regained my weight :)--and for decades now I have been 140-145 lbs.

I was in the early class for the Omnipod-Dexcom closed loop system. I totally recommend it. I am like a NEW PERSON, but I still recognize myself in the mirror.

I am retired. Earned my MBA (like a million years ago)--I taught in colleges, had a career in advertising, sales, philanthropy, advocacy and stuff like that. I reside in Ohio.
 
Welcome to the forums @hdawg1 from another long term T1 (1970). Still on the fence about a pump but I love my dexcom.
