Im pretty sure after 11 pages we can all pretty much figure out what this study is about. Notice I was not one of many who had confused the study with using embryonic stem cells. Yes the cells would develop if they were even given a chance, did yo...

How did you find out about us? What were you searching for?
I was using google because I am very depressed about having diabetes. And I came about the article asking what we tell ourselves when we get the diabetic blues. I was amazed that ive had diabetes for this long ( november of 1994)and never thought that other people feel just as bad as i do and *gasp* hate having diabetes. That they understand, unlike the doctors.
What do you do for a living?
Pizza Place
I have never known what it was like to be "normal" I was really little when I was diagnosed. This hasnt stopped me from ever wanting to be normal. I feel like I have struggled more than other people may have. I fought like crazy to get on the pump, they were soooo strict about putting me on it. My A1c was around 11 and 12 after i started going through puberty( ok TMI but you now how that goes), after 3 months on the pump i was in the low 7's. They were like wow, why didnt we do this earlier? I have been on the pump for a little over 2 years now. And I seem to have drifted into a depressed, i dont care, im not gonna test- state of mind. my A1c's have gone up again and the doctors lecture... and just dont get it. Im so tired of this!!! I just dont want to have to think about it so much. I am scared to death of complications and often planned the way I will kill myself should any of it ever happen. I shouldnt be thinking these things but i find myself very seriously considering them. I do however find comfort in knowing that other people feel the same way.
