Have T1D | Diagnosed in 1995 | Dexcom G6/Omnipod |

I live in Vermont with my partner, where we brave the winter cold and enjoy the beautiful green summers. At this point, I have had diabetes for many years - First time I’ve ever joined an online forum! For years I wasn’t interested in using a pump because I couldn’t get past the idea of tubing, a port and having something stuck to me 24/7.

I finally considered a pump because I was trying VERY hard to have better BG control and was not having the results I wanted. I am pretty sensitive to insulin, so instead of going to ‘kids’ pens w/ half unit increments, I started using the Omnipod.
