Hi, sorry to hear about your diagnoses. However you seem to be positive, unlike Jane.
I have been a type 1 for 20 years, I was diagnosed when I was 19. I went on the pump 10 years ago due to having the dawn phenomenon. ( lows at night)! I love the pump, and The infusion sets are not painful as Jane claims it to be! Also I change mine every 5 to 7 days, I can eat when I want and have a lot of freedom with it. Also I have a 4 year old son, my a1c during pregnancy was at 5.8! So yes the pump is a great thing to have!! So far 20 years type 1 and no symptoms of the disease!!
Good luck managing yourself!! Once a pumper, always a pumper! If you keep positive about the disease, it will be easier to mange. There's no cure but you can take care of yourself and live a long life!
