Hi Jodie
Another T1 here, slightly longer than yourself, but alas I was a lot older when diagnosed 25 actually... I've been using an insulin pump now for 4 years, started with the Roche Spirit which was upgrade to the Combo 16 months ago the decision I've never regretted at all, enjoying excellent control with it..
Our house is a bit like leggots, as my husband is a fellow T1 diabetic...

Take care

Hi Jodie!
I'm Lucy, diabetic since 1997; aged 8. A couple of years older than you (23). But T1 diabetic for very slightly longer. Haha. I've been through quite a bit of the bad side of diabetes (well, much worse than it normally is).
If you ever want to chat, feel free to PM me. I'm very interested in getting a pump. How're you finding yours?
