Hello all
So I have type 1 and 2 different neuropathies and 2 different gastro issues. So there is alot going on.

I second getting a pat down. I have a letter from my doctor saying my equipment can't go into the scanner to present if I ever get issues. I've noticed the last few years that TSA sees more diabetics… read more
Diabetes 1, 54 yrs, I want to learn about getting a insulin pump.
I use the Tandem T:slim X2 with the G7. I like that the two are integrated. The Omnipod also integrates with the G7, but I didn't like the pod. I had too many failed pods and I had to fill it with… read more
