woolds replied to Alexandria's discussion 'Scary Moment' in the group Young Adults with Diabetes"It's a good thing you went to your endo about it. When I was diagnosed, first of all it was by my obgyn, and secondly I couldn't get in to see an endo for more than a year. My primary care dr only had experience with type 2 and had me on…"
Vrinda replied to Alexandria's discussion 'Scary Moment' in the group Young Adults with Diabetes"A few days before my 20th birthday. Uni's a really good distraction, plus it keeps me on my toes all the time. I'll graduate next year. How old were you when you got diagnosed? And speaking of dramatic changes in BS, once I went from 229…"
Alexandria replied to Alexandria's discussion 'Scary Moment' in the group Young Adults with Diabetes"Thanks for that! I had an appt with my endo and she has changed my treatement plan dramatically to get these hypos sorted. I feel better already. I've just gone back to university, and I know what you mean, it's a good distraction and I…"
Vrinda replied to Alexandria's discussion 'Scary Moment' in the group Young Adults with Diabetes"Yeah, I've been newly diagnosed with type 1 too. Almost 3 months.

Alexandria replied to Alexandria's discussion 'Scary Moment' in the group Young Adults with Diabetes"I was low when I arrived at the Mall. I shouldn't have been driving, but I didn't even realise I was low! It was so out of the blue, and the opposite of what I normally experience at that time of day and after that type of meal. That is…"
DanK replied to Alexandria's discussion 'Scary Moment' in the group Young Adults with Diabetes"Were you walking around the mall to begin with? Same thing happened to me in 2010 when I was newly diagnosed. I thought things are starting to come into control and felt more comfortable doing things away from home. I went to the mall with my wife,…"

Scary Moment
Hey Everyone,I have recently been diagnosed with type 1, and so far I have been fairly ok with it. I have good control, and am coping quite well with the change in lifestyle. I have just been thinking about how the biggest thing is learning how my body reacts at different things. Anyway, yesterday I had a really significant hypo in the local mall. I was at 2.2 (I'm in Australia, but I think this equates to about 39), which I have dealt with before, but this one wouldn't go away. I treated ALOT…See More

Alexandria replied to Sharon (Sneetch by the Beach)'s discussion 'Higher sugars or insulin resistance the week before your cycle?' in the group Diabetes and Women"I'm so glad I saw this thread! I've only recently been diagnosed in Sept 2011, and am very tightly controlled at the moment (it seems to be the only way I can cope). At that time of the month, though, I've noticed that I lose all…"
