Sheila Fitz replied to Jan's discussion 'My first A1C' in the group LADA Diabetics"You know, my brother was dxed as a diabetic about five years before I was, only he a Type 2, and I know I am LADA.

Sam replied to Jan's discussion 'My first A1C' in the group LADA Diabetics"Hello, I'm still figuring out if I'm LADA or good old fashioned type one. Nobody seems to be able to tell at this point. I've got you all beat though, hands down. My A1C was 11.1 at my time of initial diagnosis, which was only three…"

I'm sorry it…"
JDavid replied to Jan's discussion 'My first A1C' in the group LADA Diabetics"I have no idea what my first a1c was decades ago. Had two brushes with the needle at ages 14 and 22. After a sore throat in my early 30s I ended up hospitalized due to my diabetes. After a 1/4 century, frustrated with my VA doctors I simply…"

Lindsay Sears replied to Jan's discussion 'New Dex User -- Looking for Help with Insertion and Site Rotation' in the group Dexcom Users"When I started using the Dex I was putting it in my stomach and my hips, too, and it hurt 24/7.

Terrie said… - Yes indeed they are Adults. My Son doesn’t have a clue about his photos here (Ha!) and my Daughter just giggled. My avatar is her 1st Birthday at the Dill Pickle Restaurant(closed now) and our Son with their Granny in the larger photo. They are both in their 20’s now and living on their own. We live in Ottawa(Canada’s capital) and our Son has a house about 1 1/2 hours away.
Do you have Kids also? If so, how old are they?
