First Post

My name is Malyssa. I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes a few years back as a freshman in high school; I was 14 at the time. I am now 17, and I have been battling this disease for almost two and a half years. I have been on two different insulin pumps so far, soon to be three. First a MM 722, and now an OmniPod (soon to be changing because of issues with Insulet). I have been reading blogs written by people with diabetes for well over a year now, and I have finally gotten up the courage to make one myself. I have two younger sisters, and a wonderful mother and father. I hope that by creating this blog, I can help others, as other bloggers have helped me. I will share my experience as a teen with type 1, and probably ramble on about random things as well. I am very excited to start this blog, and become a part of the online blogging community!
