Was on shots/pens until 18 and a pump since then. I'm almost 24 now, so it's been nearly 10 years. Shudder to think of it.

Ah, I'm on pens right now as well. What kind of pump are you on? I was going to get the Omnipod but there is a new pump, Solo Pump, coming out which I tried and am in love with. It's FDA approved but not out yet, expected in April/May. Check it out

Wow. I've just looked up that one and it looks FANTASTIC.

I was originally on the Deltec Cozmo, but Smith's Medical went out of biz late last year and my supplies dwindled, so before I fell off of Tricare I switched over to the One Touch Ping w/the wifi monitor. It's not all it's cracked up to be, and I don't like it very much. It holds less insulin than my Cozmo did, and the battery is very sensitive to being tossed around or something. I want to get off it as soon as my new insurance through my work kicks in. I tried the Omnipod as well, but it wasn't for me. I'm a very small guy so it looked like a tumor sticking out under my clothes no matter where I put it.

On topic, A1Cs in the 5s is infrickincredible. I haven't had any in the 5s since being diagnosed, but my lowest was 6.1. I trended up when getting on the pump because I went to college that same year and got lazy, exactly like the doctors/nurses said I would. I got as high as 8.2 but have since been on the way back down to the mid 6s. Congrats on 5s though, that's almost TOO well.
