Type1 for 46 years, pumping since 2015

I started on an animas Vibe and just switched to Omnipod. I use the Freestyle Libre. Love the NHS for providing me with these things. I’m a bit of a binge eater (sweet stuff) so am trying to change this to get a better hba1c (last one was 65), to lose weight (need to lose 40+ lbs) and to feel better and protect my future health.

I’m not beating myself up but I need to put a bit more of an effort in! I’ve come a long way since boiling glass syringes, black lines and caustic soda clinitest.
