Yolanda Gordon commented on Suzanne~'s group 'Born Again Diabetics'"Just hang in there. Doctors can't always help us. We need to find ways to help ourselves. That's why I really love this website. There is so much information here. So many different groups and lots of knowledgeable people. Muelmean just…"

Yolanda Gordon commented on Suzanne~'s group 'Born Again Diabetics'"I understand your convincing people to change is nearly impossible. But if you get a chance, Google DR. Richard Bernstein and just for the sake of curiosity see what he recommends to eat. He is also a Diabetic and a doctor.

I was diagnosed with diabetes when I was 9. I am now 26 and newly married. I have completely ignored the fact that I have diabetes for way too long now and it is time to get my life in order. I had retinopathy surgery on my eyes about 4 or 5 years ago, but other than that, I am surprisingly ok. I am terrified of why the future might bring and right now I am just trying to ensure that I HAVE a future. I want babies some day, and lots of them! Reaching out on this forum is my SOS...and I hope, my journey to recovery!!

Please feel free to follow my pregnancy journey on my personal blog, Facing New Life as a "Born Again Diabetic".
I am so excited and so blessed... I honestly never thought this day would come. The thought of never becoming a Mommy held me back for so long... I didn't want to take care of my diabetes because I didnt' want to have to DEAL with the pain. It was easier being numb to it all. But, through hard word, dedication,… Continue

Heidi said… - I am having one this time for sure. I'm sure forceps aren't always bad, I just had a bad experience, and because I'm small and my daughter was 8lbs 9 oz it was a bit of a struggle to get her out.
You'll do great!

- Hey Suzanne, Your Diabetic story is very similar to mine. I was a born again Diabetic at the age of 30 ( dx'd at 12 now almost 37). Nice to know there are others out there dealing with the same Diabetic issues.
I was in New Orleans, Louisiana a few months back and had the time of my life, truly an amazing city.
Cheers!
Danny
