My diagnosis was on October 30, 1971. I was a 12 yr old looking forward to trick-or-treating the following night only to be finally taken to the dr after my older sister pointed out that my typical teen-like symptoms were much more serious. Yep, I spent Halloween in the hospital with trident gum, and an endless supply of TAB and Fresca. Fast forward 41 years I am now 53 and wearing a pump for last 12 years and living pretty close to a regular normal life . Married with a perfectly healthy 17 yr old daughter, yes a daily struggle but alive and well complication free . Jodi
