beginnings.
Twenty-two year-old Type 2 Diabetic. Diagnosed 29 April 2007, fell off bandwagon in 2009. Crawling back up slowly, learning to breathe and look at things differently. Learning that diabetes is something I can't run from and something I need to accept. More than anything, learning to love me for me.

Olivia said… - Hi Daena,
I'm 'pandababa' from flickr. Nice to meet you here :)))
Your HbA1C is great.
We don't know each other but I have to tell you something. Last year I had a long bad period with negative feelings and bad eating habits and then... ...then one of your comments on flickr gave me strenght to continue my fight. It was your HbA1C... It was a real shock therapy for me.
Thanks, now I'm OK again! My HbA1C is 5.5 now.
Olivia
