BriannaM replied to Uproden's discussion 'Is a unit of insulin a unit of insulin?'"Found a helpful chart that can explain some of the insulins and how the work, but it's going to be different for each person as well. That's the crazy thing about this disease. As much as we want it to be an exact science, it isn't.…"
BriannaM replied to Dov's discussion 'Possibly causative link found between T1 and depression'"I wouldn't usually phrase it this way, but in this case, that seems like a bunch of bull crap. Not to toot my own horn, but as I kid I started taking all honors classes in middle school, took my SAT's in 7th grade and went on to take…"
BriannaM replied to Sam Iam's discussion 'Prosciutto'"This actually explains a lot. I had an endocrinologist who treated protein as a "free" food and insisted it was fine even when I had ketones. I quit doing that as well just because I figured high blood glucose = overworked kidneys already?"
BriannaM replied to Dolores's discussion 'Whats the most annoying comment you've ever gotten about diabetes?'"I was diagnosed at 4 and always got the response of "Oh really, you look too young." Then when I was in high school I worked fast food and you should have seen people then."
BriannaM left a comment for Jacob's mom"Still looking for work since this part of South Carolina hasn't caught on to having some decent healthcare. Lots of parents hover over their kids and they don't have a chronic disease so for you to hover isn't really surprising. I…"
Jacob's mom left a comment for BriannaM"thanks so much for your thoughts, ouch i always say i know how you feel! obviously i dont so i need to work on my responses! his overall control is good it is more the worrying what others think and he gets in a funk just about everytime he changes…"
BriannaM left a comment for Jacob's mom"Probably one of the worst things I heard as a kid from docs. and everyone else was "I know how you feel". You sit there and think to yourself about how have you even experienced what I feel. Unfortunately when our blood sugars are out of…"
Jacob's mom left a comment for BriannaM"Hi brianna, welcome to tu i think you will really benefit from joining the group. i read your comment to laura about growing up with diabetes and having the attitude that no one else could relate to what you were dealing with. my son feels that way…"
BriannaM commented on Laura's blog post 'Sounding the same note too often'"I'm not a parent, but understand where my own mother was/is coming from. I was diagnosed when I was four and not too long after lost an aunt to type 1 complications. I can't begin to imagine how that affected my mom. As I get older I…"

BriannaM replied to Stoyan's discussion 'When were you told a cure is coming?'"Same here. I was given 5 yrs. which was in 1995. They obviously got that one wrong. I agree though that it is easier to be told just to "deal" with it instead of being lied to about a "cure". Many younger diabetics wait for the…"
BriannaM replied to Cody Turner's discussion 'In Shock'"Sounds almost like what happened to my mom. She had polycystic ovarian disease and they told her that after my older brother she wouldn't be able to have anymore kids. Then there was me, two more boys and my little sister. So four kids after…"

Hi brianna, welcome to tu i think you will really benefit from joining the group. i read your comment to laura about growing up with diabetes and having the attitude that no one else could relate to what you were dealing with. my son feels that way and as much as i try to support him he has his down days ( a fair share of really good day where diabetes in under control and not in the forefront so to speak) but when he is down he says i cant relate and nothing i say seems to work, i know i need to step back and let him grow dealing with his own issues ( he is 13) but it is trying as a parent to see him sad. any words of wisdom from the other side of teen hood with diabetes. it sounds like you are doing well. i love your birds! are they love birds? wishing you well, amy
