Hi, I've just joined been T1 since 11/01/80 4pm (Friday), yes I remember it that well (is that sad?). I must be a slow burner as its taken me 42 years to do anything like this.

Just wanted to say hello! After 40 years of being quite good I started moaning that I was sick of finger pricking and sticking needles in my body, 2 years later I've a Libre sensor and an Omnipod! Love them both and they've made me a better T1 and I wasn't that bad to start with!

Really interesting reading all the issues we all share and deal with day to day - keep smashing it folks!
