16 years living with diabetes, recently concluded year #2 with Animas 2020, my first ever pump.  Transplanted native New Yorker now residing in north central CT since 1996.

Fast progression to insulin therapy, diet and exercise for brief 2 year period, then oral meds, then injection therapy.  Due to what was then frequent airport travel, I grew tired of injecting in airport bathrooms and all other uncomfortable places which made pumping an easy choice for me.
