I was diagnosed with T1 at 70 & am now 82. I have a pimp & BGM and have no problems. A good endocrinologist is the key.

The Endo I have found have more knowledge about diabetes than most other doctors. They also know more about pumps and CGM's.

Hello T1D team! I'm still trying to find a good Endo doctor in Seattle/Shoreline that's taking new patients and it's been rough. Any references out there? Also, in your humble opinions, what makes an Endo doctor really good at their job?

I'm 57 yrs old and I've had diabetes for 56 yrs... I was worried when I was younger, but as I got older and modern medicine got better, I don't worry anymore. Life is FABULOUS!!! Message me anytime!
