Hello and wow! I've been searching for a fellow type I Diabetic to see if anyone can compare notes with me. This has been quite a journey!
I am four weeks and one day out on a new right hip! And have been on an insulin pump for 15 years.
The hip seems to be healing slower than everyone else, which I expected. This is typical of everything with diabetics. The medications I normally take are overwhelming. I am so fortunate to have many advocates and medical professionals in my close family, but I am still looking for anyone to share and compare.
My blood sugars are easily managed as I am on a continuous glucose monitor that communicates with my pump (Minimed paradigm CGM) and looking to upgrade this year to the new system which is waterproof (!)
I'm just not as far along as I'd like to be. My gait is off balance, still using the cane, pt is too short and fast, aaack!
I can't wait to hear from this wonderful community.
