- Tell us more about you (optional)
- I am twenty years old and was diagnosed with type one diabetes when i was fifteen years old. i was taught to hide my disease in a bathroom stall or unpopulated area when i was in dire need to check my sugar and inject myself. this was not the way, and if anyone has a problem with me medicating myself in public, they could go eat somewhere else because it took me a lot of time to realize that this was NOT MY FAULT. i wasn't given a warning, i wasn't given a chance to turn my lifestyle around and prevent the disease from ever taking me, this isn't type two diabetes that comes at an older age, and i can't get rid of it, but that is okay. i am no lower than the next person, and neither is anyone else with this disease. i want children everywhere to know that,and i want them to know that they are stronger than the average person because of their struggles. hold your head up high, know that you are as normal as the rest of them, and realize that if you give up and give in to scrutiny, your life will be over; plain and simple. so, as one very wise gentleman stated (and trademarked); livestrong.

We're so happy that you're finally here! Welcome home Jennifer.
I read your comment up there. So true isn't it, how people are misinformed about diabetes...both re type 1, type 2 AND other types. Thing is...once you're wired for diabetes, even IF you can improve your numbers, there is NO reversing it....your numbers are simply under good control is all. You still and always WILL have diabetes, regardless of which type you have. Some folks with type 2 are thin (there's a group here for thin diabetics with type 2!)...they can't lose weight to bring their numbers down! Ahh, sigh! So much to learn!! BUT...you've come to the right place, as this IS a great place to share, to learn, and to grow...all the while meeting new people world wide, and making friends.
Take a peek at some the groups when you get a chance. Just go to the top of your page, and click on "Groups".
Once in, you can either peruse the wide array of available groups....or simply type a specific interest in the space provided.
Take in some of the blogs/discussions as well.
The resource boxes at the top of the home "Home" page, and
"About us" at the very bottom of your page and every page (the footer), offer you more information still.

Hope you find the support and information you came looking for.

Take care....and keep in touch!
