Please take a few minutes to introduce yourself here. Like many, I am someone who was active on both /r/diabetes and /r/diabetes_t1 over on Reddit and am hoping to recreate some semblance of a community here. I’ve been a T1 since 1983 and am currently using the Omnipod and Dexcom G7 with DIY Loop. Diabetes has definitely been a struggle for me at times, but I am really fortunate that I’ve been able to access such amazing technology.

So who else is here?

    My son was diagnosed at 7 years old in April of 2022. He uses a dexcom g6 and MDI with the inpen. He has no interest in a pump, yet. Been doing pretty decent considering, last A1C was 5.8. Good to be here since I loved the t1 community on reddit.

    Hi all! I was diagnosed with LADA a few weeks ago. My sugars float between the mid 80s and 1-teens with diet and exercise, but who knows how long that will last. Trying to learn as much as I can.

    Thanks for setting it up! I’m a major lurker, here and on reddit, but I am T1D and I’d like to have a community here on Lemmy, so I guess I need to contribute to make that happen!

    I’ve been living with T1 since 2007, diagnosed as an adult and feel very fortunate for that I didn’t have to deal with this bullshit while growing up.

    I’ve been using Medtronic pumps for 12 of those years, CGM on and off, depending sensor costs. I’m about to start using the 780g and the new no calibration CGM sensors.
