Hello!
Got diagnosed last month at age 27. My endo is going to run some tests to see if I am Type 1.5 or Type 2. I am so glad that I found this website and this group.

Hi everyone, I was diagnosed as type2 when I was 27 in 2006, the day my daughter was born. Few months later I was diagnosed as type 1 and have been on shots till now. Next month I am starting on omnipod and I am very excited.

Hi Sindhilicious .Howz you?.. I am on Shots, Diet and Exercise..When i was in grade 12.I had symptoms which were relevant to D..like frequent urination, thirst... I had sever fever which last for 2 months ...lot of antibiotics were given to me by Dr. to suppress my fever during that period because my health condition was very critical...Antibiotics enhance our body immune system to fight with diseases .Although my body immunity increased too much that it destroyed my pancreas B- cells which are produce insulin hormone...Bad luck.. Anyways. how did u get D?

Hi!
I was diagnosed in 2001 with type 1 then in 2009 they took more blood work and found I am producing insulin so they put me on type 2 meds. So I guess you can say im a type 2 lol! Diabetes is not hard to live with it is just a pain to watch what I eat and exercise. I hope they find a way to fix us one day soon!! I would love to eat a snickers and not have a sugar of 150 - 200 anymore.

Hi!,
I was diagnoses last month (Feb 10th) with T1. I am 29 years old. Last summer I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's Thyroiditis (hypothyroid) and papillary thyroid cancer. Now I'm worried about getting another autoimmune disease. I feel like my endocrine system is spiraling out of control (probably more in my head at the moment, but since both diagnoses were so close to each other, it has me worried none the less).

Hello everyone! I was dx'd with type 1 when I was 24 in 1999. Just a month before being dx'd I also had a hyperthyriod so that was hard going through both but I ended up ok. My thyroid is has been normal for 10 yrs, luckily taking no medication since then. Type 1 is in my family being that my mom's dad and my dad's mom were type 1's. I also have 2 second cousins that are type 1. Me and my cousins wear pumps which helps compared to taking injections - at least for us. :-). It's really something hearing about Lantus and Levemir because I never took them. I took Novolin N/Humulin N for 6 yrs until my dr's suggested a pump. I was going to try Levemir but they thought I'd need just as many injections as the N so I just tried the pump and have been wearing one ever since. :-)

Hello all! I was diagnosed in October 2007 at 21. My world and priorities changed overnight. The biggest symptom was the blurry vision. I too was diagnosed initially as a Type 2, but shortly after that diagnosis I was diagnosed as a Type 1. I went on my pump about 3 months after my diagnosis. Diabetes does run in my family. My half sister has been Type 1 diabetic for almost 19 years now.
