Hi,

My name is Peggy. I have had Type 1 for 49 years (in June). I was on the pump for a while, but I had a kind of bad experience with it, so I am back to my Lantus and Novolog.

I have been going along pretty well for a while (a little loss of vision and hearing, pneumonia and infections once in a while, but not too bad), but I was just diagnosed with diabetic gastroparesis. I was totally unprepared for that. It's like being diagnosed with Type 1 all over again...new diet, new prohibitions, new fears.

It is mainly the fears that are getting me down. I can't seem to find much help in dealing with gastroparesis, and I have had a couple close calls...not being able to eat when my bs was 30 and I was throwing up...kind of ghastly.

Anyway, I hope I find some information here from all of you. I know you probably have much experience that I could learn from. I also hope I get to know some of you and learn your stories.

I look forward to meeting you.
