- I got diagnosed at the same age as you did. I don’t know if I have LADA or just type 1. Are you thinking about the pump at all? I am just now adjusting to the shots. Any advice would help.

Craig said… - Hi Laura,
I'm a former grad student as well, went through the whole experience of balancing demands in the lab/classes/teaching and my diabetes at the same time. It can be hard, but definately can be done.
What is your field of study?

Kristin said… - Hi Laura! How are you doing? Any more low blood sugars? How have you been feeling? Hope that you are starting to feel like a diabetes pro!

- Wow, since 7th grade. What a horrible time to get diagnosed! 7th grade was bad enough without throwing diabetes into the mix. And you're writing a book, how great! I looked around for any good books about life with diabetes (from the point view of a diabetes sufferer) and couldn't seem to find any, which was really disappointing. Let us know when it comes to print!

- Hey...
Welcome to the club. I've been type 1 for 14 years, since 7th grade. I'd agree it's a rollercoaster of emotions and I'm currently writing a book that I hope to have published in a year or so. It's mostly about my life with diabetes and the emotional aspects of living with the disease. Check out my blog, it should help sort out what you are going through. let me know if there's any way I can help.

- Hi Laura! I just joined this forum today after 11 years of living with type I diabetes. Being recently diagnosed can be a roller coaster ride of emotions. You definately seem to have a key element to managing this disease effectively though, strength. It is so helpful to have that inner strength at the beginning, since there are adjustments to your life, but at the same time your hopes and dreams and desired achievements are still attainable. I have faced discrimination because of my disease, but over time I realized that if I let myself feel defeated, it was my fault. If someone wants to try to knock you down because they are ignorant or intolerant, it's your reaction to them that will determine the outcome. They will look and feel the fool and come to see the err of their ways. And if they don't, they are not worthy of one more second of your time.

having your cake and eating it too
A couple of days ago I went out to lunch with some colleagues, one of whom knew I was diabetic. It was one of those buffet-style lunches, so I figured I'd give myself insulin first and then match my carbs to my insulin, to make things more convenient. After injecting, i noticed that there were NO CARBS to be had at this place… Continue
