Hi everybody! I am new to Juvenation! I was diagnosed in July 2000, I have a three year old daughter and a loving husband, also a great family support! I am always looking for support from others with type 1 diabetes...I am a pump user.

Hi Patrina! This is a great place for learning how to get good control. Support and discussion here is very helpful. I have been type 1 for 65 years and am doing very well. Ask all the questions you want.

Welcome.

Hey Gina,

I am also on the minimed, 722. Do you use the sensor along with it, or do you just rely on testing?

14

I have the sensor but, I am bad and haven't been using it that often because I am lazy lol

I wish I could have the sensor but I can not afford the cost...my insurance only covers 50% so the cost of the box of 10 sensors would be to much. I know I would probably do a lot better if I had it because of the anxiety I have when it comes to lows. I'm sure we all experience that though!
