Hi there! I’m from Philadelphia and was diagnosed at age 6 (16 years ago). I’m currently using the medtronic 670g with guardian sensors (a little mix of automode and manual mode) as well as the dexcom g6. I struggled really hard with taking care of my diabetes while in college but since graduating I’ve got my mind set to get it more in control so I don’t feel lousy on a daily basis. Pretty much am in a phase of establishing all of my pump settings since I hadn’t touched them since I was 13. My last a1c was an 8.5 a few months ago but we’ll see where it’s at in a week or two after my upcoming endo appointment (hoping to be mid to low 7s!!!) I currently work at a market research firm on a healthcare team, loved playing field hockey in college, have 4 cats, and I’ll be going to med school starting in aug (thinking about going into endo). Anyways, I look forward to being a part of this community ! Thanks for having me --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.fudiabetes.org/t/welcome-introduce-yourself-here/145)._
