Welcome Doris!
Your tips are priceless. I actually pay for a gym membership instead of using the one at school included in my tuition because A) the school gym isnt open 24/7 like mine is, and B) the SAUNA!
PS- I opened this group up to those with stressful careers too, so non-students with good tips can come in here and chat! -

Geez, I feel too old to be in this group! Although I am a student, I work full time and basically am a huge slacker when it comes to school. I rarely hand homework in on time. -

I work at a college (Manny does too), we may be helpful as far as advice dealing with professors or other situations that come up in the college environment. Plus - it hasn't been all that long since I have been out of school - finished my master's in 2005.

Name: Kristofer (just Kris is fine)
age: 19
type of diabetes: Type 1
how do you manage it?: Shots, diet, exercise.
School you attend: Florida International University
Major: Not sure. English is a maybe. Interesting and lots of possibilities.
Minor: No idea.
career goals:No clear plans here. There's lots of things I can do, so as long as I'm happy and I can pay the bills I'm good. That's one reason why I'm leaning towards English. I can do a lot with that degree.
expected date of graduation: Assuming all goes smoothly, sometime in 2010.
one tip that has helped you deal with diabetes in college: Eat well. The easiest thing s to grab a slice of pizza and go. That's all well and good from time to time, but the extra 5 minutes you spend in line at Subway will do you better, both in the long and short run. -

might help out pizza cravings -

Name: Dan
age: 25
type of diabetes: Type 1
how do you manage it?: Pump
School you attend: Texas A&M University
Major: Industrial Distribution
Minor: Does work count as credit hours towards a minor?
career goals: Anything but computers. I will probably go into product logistics or upper management. The degree is kinda a cross between buisness and engineering, so anything is possible.
expected date of graduation: Someday, but I think I have about 1.5 years left for undergrad, and I have to get a masters since my wife is getting a phd.
one tip that has helped you deal with diabetes in college: I honestly don't find it any different, as I was only diagnosed 2.5 years ago. Main thing is just stay on top of it I guess. Don't get lazy at all. That means checking your b/s at a party in front of that cute *insert what you are interested in here* if you have to. If they run off, it was for the best anyway. -
