that's me

Hello! I'm Carly, and I am a 25 year old who has had Type 1 for 12 years. In the fall I started on an insulin pump for the first time. I chose the OmniPod, and I'm very glad I did! I had worked so hard to get my A1c to 6.8 with Lantus and Humalog, with multiple lows each day, and now have a 6.1 with fewer lows and so much less math!! I just started a blog about growing up with Diabetes and my latest experiences with the OmniPod called "So Much Sweeter". I haven't met too many Type 1's in real life since Diabetes Camp in 8th grade, so it's very nice to be here!

I am also a Graphic Designer, working full-time on the lovely campus of Princeton University. I am a fan of Digital SLR photography, indie and classic rock, coffee, road & fixed gear bikes, Kurt Vonnegut, sugar-free Red Bull, my macbook, and humor intended for 14 year old boys. I should also admit that I enjoy watching my favorite Type 1, Bret Michaels, on his televised quest for love.

Hey Carly---I lived in Princeton for a couple years about 1969-71. Taught at a ballet school. My brother and my daughter's father went to Princeton. We actually lived in in an old farmhouse outside of Lambertville, but I loved Princeton proper....Your bio makes me happy....Be well.....Judith in Portland

Hi Carly - thanks for the add! I see you're also a fan of macs (have an old iBook myself) and Bret Michael's quest for lovin' (but will it last? I'm expecting season three to be announced any day now).

It's kind of funny - my husband is a 3D artist and did a spinning 3D 'P' for Princeton basketball scoreboard a while back. (They also requested for it to be flaming, for what ever reason).

Love your blog!:)

Carly, we actually live very close to each other. My home is just off Blue Spring road. Blue Spring connects through River Road to Route 27 in Kingston. That's the route we take to get to the nearest Target/Best Buy.

I actually live in the Princeton "area". LOL. I live in the "Princeton" zip code of Skillman ( Montgomery Township ) about 3 miles from the university. It seems every town (Plainsboro, Lawrenceville, West Windsor, Franklin Park, Kendall Park ) with a 5 mile radius of the university has a Princeton address.

Hey Carly, I'm new to this site too...it's awesome! I just tried the OmniPod trial thing that's weighted....so I'm definitely thinking about it. It's really good to know that it's working so well for you!
Hope to talk to you more...
