22 years to the date!

[Cinnabon]

Thought Id share this .........

22 years ago on this same, Memorial Day weekend, I was real thin, frail, dyeing of thirst, and didn't have a clue what was going on. I was about to be diagnosed with something that would change my life completely. I was in the hospital by this time learning how to give myself shots, practicing on an orange, LOL. I guess I thought at that moment it would eventually go away.... NOT! Here I am though, still struggling.

Be proud of yourself for coming so far! Everyone struggles with this disease at times, but we can't give up. We have to keep fighting the good fight and make the most of each day. 22 years with Diabetes is a long time, and I do believe that you are doing ok ;)

Keep showing this disease who's boss! :D

Take care,

Andrea

hi 2 years ago i was diagnosed a diabetic i have been struggling ever since they thought i was a type 2 but when it came that my specialist want ted test to see what type i was it was a very different story months later i found out i was type one so they put me on insulin and took me off the pills and mu sugars have ben fluckuating ever since is there any suggestion on how to get my blood sugars under contol ?

[Cinnabon]

hey there Canadian,

I think as times goes on and your body becomes adjusted to the insulin, slowly but surely you will have a better control. Patience is something that probably doesn't make a whole lot of sense right now, cause you want a bit of control, but you must have it. You will achieve good control, with the correct insulin regimen and food in check. Good luck!

ty for the sugesstion i appreciate that i have an interesting question for you they had me on avandia for a while before they took me of the pills completely would that have anything to do with my sugars rebounding so much i have to go for blood tests in june of this year hope to hear you soon ;)

[Cinnabon]

Honestly I think you have to find some kind of stable line before anymore changes are made. When do they see you next? The blood test will tell a lot.

[canadiangirl]

my blood test for later this month is for the protien levels in my urine i go see my specialist in jan of next year my specialist want me to go in for those tests after the avandia has worn off thats why i asked if is has anything to do with my sugars rebound some
