| | | Hi Mob,
Welcome to the forums, glad you found us. Lots of information here with good people ready to help and support. Sorry you got the wonderful news, but be assured it's not the end of the world.
Do you feel like telling us a little more about yourself? What was your A1c? How are your numbers? How often do you test? are you on any medication?
Nice signature by the way.
Visit often, post and ask lots of questions,

| | | i will try and answer all the questions the best i can.
My BS was around 500, did the fast thing, came back dropped down to 400ish - dr said yep you got the diabetes!
I did also bloodwork which is going to check the cells? I think thats A1 i think, gotta do some checking up on that.
I'm taking Micronaise 5mg 2x daily
i'm also taking Vasotec 5mg 2x daily for my high blood pressure. Found that out as well! Next will be my prostrate is a large as a Rosie O'Donells head. (just joking)
As for hot dogs, i love mine with everything! Dont have a favorite, but i like the street cart vendors. As i think of it now, i think i ate a diabetic laiden dog a few weeks back..
As for myself. I'm 30 years old and a Leo. I was born the night Elvis died 8/16/1977 and i cant sing, but i can eat like the 70s elvis though! - I'm a stunt penis for the porno industry. When it comes down to doing extreme scenes, they send me in (midget porn, eating porn, he/she midget porn etc..)
I live alone, but sadly i got a girlfriend who hasnt taken the hint of I want to live alone. I have 2 cats (yes i know make jokes) I enjoy watching, going to sporting events, and concerts. I also enjoy fixing my PC, my family PCs and everyone who my family tells I can fix PCs.
I think i gave out more information here, than my last job interview.
thanks for the warm welcomes!
