Hi all I had a consultation with a new diabetic doctor today and i have to say I wish I’d met him 20 years ago, he’s T1 himself and is testing new technology constantly and was trying to convince me to start pumping again. Currently he’s using this diabeloop system and is having great success...

I was talking to my diabetes nurse & dietitian today and we all agreed that going on the pump would be a good option for me. I am 21 and have had type 1 diabetes since the age of 4 and I have never really recovered from a particularly difficult and poorly controlled time with my in my teens and...
