Gerri replied to Izzie_bubbles's discussion 'The bright side?.........'"Take a big bow for doing so well on your own! Quite an accomplishment.

Stemwinder said… Welcome Izzie_Bubbles, Diagnosed at 6 that's the earliest I have heard for a T2. It looks like you have done a great job managing it with a 5.6 A1C. I'm T2 also but diagnosed at a much older age. This is a great place to come and share and learn fom others like ourselves. Nobody understands what its like to be diabetic like another diabetic. Please explore and see all this place has to offer.
Its great that you can start each day with a smile. Thats a lesson we all need to learn. A smile makes life so much easier.
Please feel at home, you are with friends.
