Hi there - I'm a T1, dx Sept 2008.
No prior family history of any diabetes and then within two weeks of each other my 6 yo nephew and I were both admitted to ER and dx with type 1.
I'm still getting the hang of how my body responds to food/exercise/insulin - it's like a balancing act!
I live in Melbourne, Australia and am currently using a Minimed 722 Paradigm pump.
Look forward to getting to know you all, learn from you and share/swap stories :)
Cheers.
Welcome! :)
P.S. You have a beautiful country - I visited Sydney and a couple of other areas in 2008. It was gorgeous!

Welcome! I was dx Sept 1982. Must be a good month for dx!
