Who&#8217;s with me?<\/p>\n<p>A little about me &#8211; I was diagnosed with Type 1 at age 26 (12 yrs ago) and have been pumping for about 5 years.  I&#8217;m on Humalog and using a Minimed 722.  I have the REAL-Time CGM, and plan to start using it again as soon as my order of sensors arrives.  My A1C was always really great (5.8, 5.9) right before and after I started pumping.  However, the reason for this stellar A1C was that my BG was a complete roller-coaster &#8211; averaging out to look good, when it really wasn&#8217;t.  I decided to switch Endo&#8217;s and they did take care of my frequent lows, and now I need to work on my part to not let my sugars get to high.  Unfortunately, my A1C over the last 6 months has crept up to 7.3.  I talked to my Endo about planning to become pregnant and they want me to get it down to 6&#8230; Yes, I have some work ahead of me!  Right now I&#8217;m writing down everything I eat and will be sending my sugars in for review by the diabetes educator every other week.<\/p>\n<p>Planning to become pregnant is my motivation to get my sugars under control again.  We have a 3 year old son through adoption and had previously tried fertility treatments.  I had a tubal pregnancy in 2001 and lost one of my tubes, but the doctors were not able to determine any additional reasons on why we couldn&#8217;t conceive.  I figured now that we have our son, the pressure is off and whatever happens, happens!  \ud83d\ude09 <\/p>\n<p>Sorry to go on and on&#8230;  Looking forward to hearing from others about their challenges and achievements! \ud83d\ude00<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi everyone!
