I've Had Diabetes for Over 20yrs!

This group is for people out there who were born with or close to born with diabetes and have had it for a long time. I have had it for about 21yrs now and it's very hard to find people and talk to others who are dealing with the same issues I am.See More

Going on the Dexcom today!!!!!

I'm getting training today for the Dexcom. Hopefully, I will have better luck with Dexcom then with Minimed. Yesterday, my pump was saying I was at 46, so I go and test and I was at 479. Off by 400 points. Can't wait to learn all about it.See More

20 years with Diabetes today

Today marks my 20 years with Diabetes. It was 3 days before my senior prom and 2 weeks before high school gradulation. That day my blood glucose was 793. I lost 35 pounds in a week and a half. I was down to 88 pounds. Now I'm double that. But working on losing some. Diabetes has changed in the 20 years. I hope that they find a cure real soon.See More
