The clock has just struck midnight 15 minutes ago here in Arizona and I just realized that I have been diabetic for six years today. I was already 12 when I was DX'ed but I honestly can't remember life not being diabetic.
Well, one DKA, one brain dehydration/shrinkage, 5 busted pumps, 2 months of CGM, 5 years of pump therapy, and 2 years of metformin later I am happy and complications free! :)
congrats :)
nice job, abigail. i'm glad to hear things are going well for you :o)
Congrats on your D-versary!!! How on earth did you bust 5 pumps? Did the company replace them all 5 times?
Minimed did replace all 5 pumps for free since I was under warranty. And they broke due to multiple reasons-- one was submerged in water, a couple were broken because I walked into walls a little too often. But I haven't had a pump break for about 2 and a half or 3 years.
Happy D-versary !!!
Happy D-versary - or as I call it, Dia-versary - Abigail! However you want to name it, it's another reason to celebrate! If nothing else, celebrate the fact that you're alive and complications free!
Your "D-versary" is only 8 days after mine! I was diagnosed on August 2, also six years ago.
My d-versery will be tomorow. I will have had D for 37 years tomorrow. Also it's my oldest daughter's b-day!
