I had friends with Type 1 diabetes and one even had a pump, so no questions here, but I am wondering if the pump size has changed since I saw one about 20 years ago. Maybe a photo of it with something (skein of yarn?) for scale would be helpful.guiltypleasureshttp://guiltypleasures.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15394728.post-23336004430297145632008-04-10T11:29:00.000-04:002008-04-10T11:29:00.000-04:00I think that more people should be aware overall about diabetes and how important good eating habits in general are to general overall healthiness. I know a family and they have a child who has diabetes (type II, I think? but she might have a pump? so maybe type I?) and when her sugar is off she is constantly eating candy or drinking a soda. Makes me cringe every time! Shouldn't she eat healthier alternatives with natural sugar? Or is that ignorant on my part?Kristinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11276674113426218402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15394728.post-42512749317289682842008-04-10T11:26:00.000-04:002008-04-10T11:26:00.000-04:00Good luck. The only person I know who has a pump just loves, loves, loves it.<BR/><BR/>My (step) grandson, age 16, has diabetes and has had for years now. To be honest, I don't know the difference between type 1/2 (I believe his is 1). He's on insulin. We don't see him often -- but I don't know if there's anything we should/shouldn't be doing to help him.bmomhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01378630898176323133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15394728.post-47646607576777340402008-04-10T11:03:00.000-04:002008-04-10T11:03:00.000-04:00I'm glad your anxious and not afraid, and I'm excited for you! <BR/><BR/>I guess I don't know much about type 1 because no one close to me has it... my grandma has type 2, and I know that was partly because of her lifestyle and eating habits of the past. So how early can you be diagnosed? I know you have to watch carbs and sugar, but I don't know all the details, Sorry I'm not informed at all. But it just isn't something I need to know for my(or my family's) life. But with that said I am more than willing to learn! Also I hope that doesn't upset you that I have no clue what your daily life is like... OK enough rambeling... take care!jessicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13695972287239698720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15394728.post-7002134767131826612008-04-10T10:11:00.000-04:002008-04-10T10:11:00.000-04:00I'm both anxious and excited for you. I hope the insulin pump will allow you some more freedom and worry free time as you'll have help with your monitoring, etc. Now that you'll be bionic will you knit even faster? ;)Heidehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10409844966813816495noreply@blogger.com
