I’m new to Tudiabetes.org myself but am already finding it so helpful! I, like you, was originally diagnosed wrong with Type 2 by my GP. But luckily, they sent me directly to an endocrinologist, and she told me no, you are Type 1. This was a shock because I had researched Type 2 and was as prepared as I could be to deal with that. Type 1 is a whole different thing. But the pump, and CGMS, are wonderful and have made diabetes much more manageable for me. I got on the pump less than a year after being diagnosed. Don’t let the fear of the infusion site needle get to you…it gets easier each time you do it until you won’t even flinch or notice it much anymore. I say this from 8 years experience using the pump. I’m sorry it took so long for them to figure out you were Type 1, but now you can move forward with proper treatment. And ask any questions you have here. The very friendly community will give you lots of insight from their experience. All the best to you!
