I am I got a t-shirt from my endocrinologist that read "I strive for 8.5" old!

I told my current endo that story and he looked at me like I was crazy. I told it's ok, I'm old school, I'm like grandfathered in! Well, it was the early 80s.... I have seen quite a lot of progress in diabetes treatment. When I was 6 I had a pump almost as big as a VHS tape. Anywhoo, today is my 40th diaversary!
