I was diagnosed type 1 on june 20th 2011 and I literally have NO idea what I'm doing. I guess because I'm 20 I'm supposed to be able to handle this. I don't meet with a nutritionist until the 6th and…Continue

Emily replied to Regina's discussion 'A lukewarm rant: You know they have machines to measure your blood sugar?'"I know she meant juvenile diabetes but I was only diagnosed a few months ago at the age of 20.

Emily replied to Regina's discussion 'A lukewarm rant: You know they have machines to measure your blood sugar?'"After I was first diagnosed I wanted to explain everything to EVERYONE. but eventually you just get tired of hearing the same phrases from people and saying the same thing over and over. I especially get tired of people I work with who forget…"
Emily replied to Regina's discussion 'A lukewarm rant: You know they have machines to measure your blood sugar?'"Before I was diagnosed I knew the difference between type 1 and 2. However, I knew nothing about the differences in treatment. I didn't know about carbs. When I was diagnosed I was actually excited because I just thought 'now I don't…"

On June 20th, 2011, I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. I had been showing symptoms for months but I just never thought to be tested or go to the doctor. I was drinking tons and tons and peeing all the time and for a few weeks I'd been feeling really weak. I thought I was sick from not eating right or exercising enough so I just tried to eat healthier and I just felt worse and worse.
