I was diagnosed when I was 14 back in 2007. My blood sugar was in the 800s. I had lost about 20lbs in two weeks. I could barely walk and I looked like a skeleton. My MD told my mom earlier in the week that it was probably just the flu. After five days of feeling worse than I've ever felt I told my mom she had to take me to the MD. My MD took one look at me and knew I either had DM or cancer. ( she told my mom this info the next time she saw her). I went on a pump a year after I was diagnosed and have used one ever since. I now use the CGM w my pump too
