I think we may have a lot in common. I read your thread on neuropathy and also saw what a struggle your weight gain issues had caused you. Look me up and read my story. I am also on Facebook if you want to check me out there. I am also a mom of 3 and was originally diagnosed with Gestational Diabetes with my 3rd child, 3 years ago. Now at age 38, I am a full-on T1 on a pump. And, oh so many other health issues have developed. Anyway, it was nice to read your thread. I wish you good luck and hope to hear from you soon. Kind regards, Rebecca B.

I actually read about TuDiabetes from a post Manny put on his CNN column about diabetes. He isn't my doctor.
