Greetings my fellow diabetics! I'm curious to know what you go for when a mad case of munchies strikes? I wouldn't dare reach my little hand into a bag of chips or down a slice of cake, so I have…Continue

- I was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes when I was 13. My younger sister had been diagnosed 4 years prior when she was just 6 years old. I guess you could say we were hit pretty hard with the crappy genes stick, but it has been nice that neither of us has to do this alone.
Having a diabetic buddy is pretty great. It's more than having someone to loan you test strips when yours have run out or force feed you orange juice when your blood sugar tanks. You can have the best, most supportive friends and family, but no one can understand completely unless they are going through the same thing.

latvianchick said… I do find some help here from time to time, but I find it difficult to work out the levels - we in the UK measure in mmols so your numbers seem to be terrifying!!!! 9.9 is high - 120 or whatever is scary to me!
Also there seems to be a lot of talks on pumps here, and that is not for me. First of all a clinic in the UK only has funding for two pumps a year, and also because I am numerically dyslexic I cannot go on an education course because of all the numbers involved!

Ha, I went to Los Angeles many years ago after my stint at Camp America at Syracuse. My sister is now living with her husband and two boys in San Francisco - went there for the first time last January! They are enjoying it, despite the difficulties.
I am type 1 and very unstable
