Good day to you

[Flower]

Hello,

I'm new on here but not so new to diabetes, Type 1 for 35 years.

I use a Medtronic pump and continuous glucose monitor to keep me going. Unfortunately I have accumulated a wide and varied selection of complications over the years but recently am managing to get the best control in all my time of trying. Thank goodness for technology lending a very welcome helping hand.

Nice to meet you.

Hi Flower, welcome to the forum 🙂 I am very sorry to hear about the complications, but it is good to hear that your control has improved significantly - how long have you been pumping and had the CGM?

Hi Northerner

I've been using a pump for 12 years, worked out what all the controls and menus do by now! I started using CGM about 2 and a half years ago. Could do with a few new bits of me to stick canulas and sensors in as have a I'm not brave enough to stick needles in my legs problem!

Hi and welcome to the forum 🙂. My son has the Veo too, and sensors when I can afford them! I love having the continual readout from the sensor, especially overnight. Do you use them continuously?
