Today marks my 20 years with Diabetes. It was 3 days before my senior prom and 2 weeks before high school gradulation. That day my blood glucose was 793. I lost 35 pounds in a week and a half. I was down to 88 pounds. Now I'm double that. But working on losing some. Diabetes has changed in the 20 years. I hope that they find a cure real soon.
