Becky replied to Jess's discussion 'Health Fields' in the group College Students with Diabetes (and people who work in stressful careers)"I totally understand. I feel like everyone has their own comfort range. I've heard of some people that keep their glucose at 70 and feel fine....I don't. I more focus on getting a plateau than the "perfect" blood sugar. Having…"
Becky replied to Jess's discussion 'Health Fields' in the group College Students with Diabetes (and people who work in stressful careers)"I've never told any employers or professors that I have type one diabetes. Some of them have found out because they noticed me checking my blood sugar during breaks and honestly feel like they had a deeper respect for me after they learned I…"
Becky replied to Emily Coles's discussion 'February query: What would you do with a diabetes-free day?'"God himself wouldn't be able to prevent me from skiing. It's for sure do-able with diabetes."
Becky replied to Emily Coles's discussion 'February query: What would you do with a diabetes-free day?'"Took a trip to the British Islands and went snorkeling for a week straight but found it very frustrating that I could only swim for hour intervals before my blood sugar would drop. SO if I had a diabetes free day....I'd snorkel the whole day…"
Becky replied to Sara H's discussion 'Share your story and help with a project!' in the group Young Adults with Diabetes"I'd be down to share some stories."
Becky replied to Carly's discussion 'Venting and Friends' in the group Young Adults with Diabetes"I hear you Carly. Your friends have no idea what it is like. I rarely talk about my illness with my friends. Some of them are actually interested in what I've had to go through, but for the most part I think they are uncomfortable because they…"
Becky commented on Carl Edholm's group 'Natural Supplements'"Taking Rutin. I learned about diabetic cataract formation in med school and it's caused my a sugar build up in the lense of the eye (sorbitrol). Rutin inhibits the sorbitril enzyme from working so as a result there is low sorbitrol…"

- I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes when I was 7 years old. Instead of looking at diabetes as a burden, I have looked at it as an opportunity to get to know myself better, take the best possible care of myself, and live my life to the fullest. I'm a very active person and have not let my diagnosis affect me in any way, nor have I felt restricted by it. We are all dealt bad cards in life and I want to be there for other diabetes that feel defeated and hopeless. Right now I'm a veterinary student at the University of Illinois and hope that I can serve as a support system for other students or anyone that is having a hard time with managing their diabetes. Look forward to talking with you.
