> [@type1\_toddler](#): > > Talk about getting tossed to the wolves! The trip was actually a lot of fun and a good way for us to get acclimated with our new lifestyle. @type1_toddler, what a difficult experience it must have been – and yet you guys like like you were able to take it in stride and deal with it so well – this is AWESOME! > [@type1\_toddler](#): > > Annabelle was diagnosed with type1 on Feb 15th 2016 when she was just about 21 months old. Of all of us, you guys have the hardest task – toddlers seem to be the hardest profile to control. We have a lot of parents with toddlers on the site! > [@type1\_toddler](#): > > We are working with the Animas Ping Pump and the Dexcom G5 CGM which both I am loving. It is GREAT that you have both. They make such a difference for younger children! Welcome to the community, Sarah: I really look forward to your posts 🙂 ---

I’m Carolyn in CO. Unexpectedly spend all of Memorial Day Weekend in the hospital with DKA- bg was 600 and a1c 12.5 after going to urgent care thinking I had a UTI. I’m a runner. I swim sometimes and bike sometimes too. I had to delay my planned solo thru-hike of the Colorado trail, but still did a couple marathons, and biked a 100k this summer. My a1c 2 weeks ago was 5.5. I just got a dexcom last week. I’m a CPA/math major so all the data has made me obsessive. I’m honeymooning a lot so its a bit easier to manage for me so far but my ratios are all over the place since it depends on how well my pancreas works that meal. My c-peptide was 0.3 in the hospital but its (temporarily) up to 1.7 (normal) 2 weeks ago when I had other labs done. That doesn’t make sense to me since I do need some insulin, especially basal and breakfast. I figured out how to get my bg onto my Garmin the day I got the dexcom and its awesome. I’ve been browsing this forum since about the start and it seem like this is where I fit in the best with the other data obsessed athletes. ---

Welcome again, Carolyn! > [@CarolynA](#): > > Unexpectedly spend all of Memorial Day Weekend in the hospital with DKA What a bummer – so sorry about your diagnosis:( My son, who spends many hours in sports every week, also got his diagnosis the same way, DKA in the EU, same A1c as you at the time, and also now 🙂 > [@CarolynA](#): > > I just got a dexcom last week. This tool changed our life. You can be so much more corrective, and so much more quantitative too! > [@CarolynA](#): > > my ratios are all over the place since it depends on how well my pancreas works that meal. That is part of what makes honeymooning so challenging sometimes – although it also really nice to have part of the day easy to manage. Since you are LADA, you are likely to last longer in honeymoon that regular T1s [diagnosed earlier]. > [@CarolynA](#): > > it seem like this is where I fit in the best with the other data obsessed athletes. You will fit right in! It’s great to see all your info in your profile, btw! ---

Wow, what an awesome transition! Gratz on the amazing work. A pleasure to meet you. My wife is an accountant also - MBA with concentration in Accounting, but no CPA yet. She’s tried for it on 4 occasions…all 4 times she managed to get one or two parts done in the year, then, since she wasn’t able to finish all 4 parts in the same year, she had to start all over again. It’s a LOT of studying and, with 5 kids, she just hardly ever has any quiet time. It’s on her to-do list, though. Her mom’s a CPA who was a CFO for many years before retiring this past year. ---

Awesome! I passed it at 23 a couple years out of college with no dependents. I’m sure that was much easier. Still no dependents except my dog, but I’m planning on kids by myself in the near-ish future with a donor (dating just seems to get me hurt). That’s my Watson! ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/fudiabetes/original/2X/3/35d3615559d4666568717f71d2f1ba987f94354f.jpg) ---

Welcome, so glad you found our little corner of the web. The toddler parent group is growing by leaps and bounds! While my son was much older at diagnosis (12) he was the only one in our family to have T1 as well. I look forward to hearing more as you get acclimated. ---

Hi Sarah and Carolyn and Rob and Dragan! (Man, I fell behind! Look at all these new people! Yay!) I’m sure both the old timers and the new kids in town (or their parents) will be a great resource! @type1_toddler Secretly, I’m thankful you didn’t get diagnosed AT Disneyland, that would’ve been strange! (Although, maybe the doctors all wear mouse ears? And maybe it’s the happiest hospital on earth?!) Everyone, you’ve found some cool people to learn from - I certainly appreciate this forum and have learned so much so quickly! And I’m sure your stories and thoughts will add to the mix here! ---
