@MM2, awesome! Welcome to the forum, so glad to see you here! I have you have more years since diagnosis than anyone in this forum! My son is 12 (he is a member here) and was diagnosed a couple of years ago. He gets really inspired by the stories of people w many years of D – @Eric is a model for him. So I hope he’ll get a chance to read your story! [Edit] Oops, just found it in the other thread, really great! ---

I was lurking when Beacher joined, and decided to wait a few days before I overtook the lead. It won’t be long before someone surpasses me, I know they are out there and they inspire me. Actually, I think I learn more from the newbies, and/or younger crowd. You seem to be the first to get the newer products, or inventive ways to use the old. Sometimes I’m too set in my ways, and thus still using a MM523 pump ! One of these days I might get my nightscout/APS set up. Have all the pieces, but no time. thanks for the welcome ! ---
