Three months after our youngest son was born I had a sinus infection. I didn't seek medical attention because I had only had insurance to cover the prenatal care and delivery. I lost a huge amount of weight, was dying of thirst and peeing all the time. I checked my BG and it was 350. The next day it was 450 and I knew I'd better get to the doctor. He immediately told me I had type 1 DM and would be on insulin the rest of my life. I was so angry that I had DM 1 but I was glad that the doctor made the correct diagnosis right away.
I was diagnosed with type 1 DM when I was 34 years old right after having gestational diabetes. Do you have any of the same pre-determining factors as I did? Just curious. I have had my MM pump for five years and it has made such a huge difference. Hope each day gets better and better for you!
Now that you have been on the pump for a couple of weeks how is it going?
My CDE told app 72 hrs. I go 3 1/2 to 4 days on mine just when I get the low res. alarm. How is it going? Do youhave to go in for follow up training?
noww htat you have had 24 hrs how is it going?

My body really aches. I really need some relief. Maybe a deep tissue message would do me some good. Sounds like a great reward to me.
Now that I've thought about it, well, I had nothing better to do today so why not go to see my diabetes educator, learn a whole new pump language and attach a faux pancreas to my body that shouldn't be removed except for the "3 S's"? That's what Monday's are for. Right?
Oh well, Happy Monday. Rebecca :)
