Female, 26 years with T1D

I switched from multiple daily injections (MDI) to a pump in 2006, and to an Advanced Hybrid Closed Loop (AHCL) system consisting of pump and CGM sensor in 2023. Because I have an active lifestyle with many external appointments (not sure when/ where I will eat), AHCL has been a game changer for me. Especially with the birth of my second child, there is little headspace for BG tracking for myself so it’s a great relief to leave this to the CGM and the on-the-go adjustments to the pump. Thanks to the AHCL, I can literally have my cake and eat it!
