Hey all!

[Elliott]

Hey all,

I was diagnosed ~4 months ago after I had gotten sick in December. I'm glad to find a community where I can chat about stuff like checkups and just how other diabetics deal with things.

I forgot to add that i'm also allergic to milk, penicillin, and a bunch of other things which have made my short time with diabetes pretty rough since I can't drink milk I haven't been getting a lot of the essential nutrients like calcium etc and the doctors think that that might have contributed to me getting diabetes.

I should be more active tomorrow cause it's 12:30 AM here in Quebec, Canada and I need to get some sleep.

Elliott :D

Oh. Sorry about that. I have type 1 and i'm on 4 injections a day with novorapid (short acting) and levemir (long acting). I don't take any medication other than calcium pills (6x/day :( ) and vitamins.

I use a FreeStyle Mini and I use the Novo Nordisk NovoPen's

P.S: Thanks for the warm welcome :D
