Hi Alyssa, I just joined this group I have type1 diabetes for the last 7 yrs. Iwont take up much of your time but one of the best things that has helped me is my new meter One Touch Ultra smart.... it records everything for me ..... NO stupid book!!! Ihate everything about diabetes but I really hate the time I have to spend on it . My meter really does help with that and being able to give myself a shot anywhere, hopefully shielding myself from any on lookers. I hope to hear from you....we will never have a NORMAL life but I am hoping with the support of this page I can feel a part of a NORMAL group that WE ALL ARE TOGETHER. We can all have a wonderful life with a little support from eachother. ( that really is the only thing my life is missing!)

Hey Alyssa, I agree with all the above comments. It is just a matter of time. One advice: don't fight with your parents; maybe they are more worried than you are. Remember that you are the only person that can make your life better and beautiful.
I was diagnosed at the same age that you were. Right know I have a perfect and normal life, without more limitations than any other "normal" person. In the long way, everybody have to take care about carbs and stuff regarding their health. So don't worry, take one step at a time and you will find the best way to control your sugar level. And don't be worried if you get mad..., everybody does.
I am sending you a big hug from Venezuela.

You are doing the best you can and as Marie says give yourself a break. I have also had a terrible day, caught a cold and an infection and blds are all over the place. I think they are starting to settle now. I know this can feel like one long haul, but just take things a little at a time. I used to fight with mum too, its just a bit of frustration coming out and its perfectly normal. Good luck with tomorrow.

Hi, Alyssa, I'm here to give you a big hug, and I agree with everything my friend Robert said. You've only been dealing with all this stuff for a month, and soon you will do better with the carb counting and everything. Give yourself a break, and reward yourself when you figure things out. Remember that a high number is just a number, it's not a "score" on how good a person you are. Don't let it get you down, because there are multiple reasons for the highs, and sometimes, even after having the d for 41 years, I can't figure it out. So I just say to myself, "wow, I'm glad I caught that high bg now", instead of later, so I take a correction bolus and carry on with life. Of course I get down and sad too about it. I think that there'd be something wrong with you if you didn't get sad about having to do all this crap for the rest of your life. That is a good time to come here, and talk to us, because we really get it. Robert there is one of the best.

anyway, here's hoping today is a good day for you, Alyssa!

Alyssa

What a very pety name.

I know the diabetes does not fel very good and as pretty, but it is what we have. I was diagnosed at a very young age too, hell , I was born withit pretty much.

It does not get ay easye,but it gets kind of normal after a while.

After all this time, almost 40 years, I am used tolooking at something and saying it's 15 carbs. Most of the time being right. Then there are times that I am wrong and I am either at 265 or below 70. More then just the carbs darn it. At least I can adjust to it. It became evven tighter after I got on thepump, but just seems like they go to take a dollar from me one way or the other.

I dont even hope for a cue annymore, excep when I see a beautiful person so young going through what I had such as you, or my friend Olivia who is just barely 4 years old and had it already for 2 years.

I wish our socisety did not grub on a dollar so much because I truely bealive as a life form we ae one of the smartest out there, but ou greed objects the true ability to be kind.

I'm going to keep my hope, that fades sometimes, for the cure whenI come across young adults and children that should not be going through what I had.

Please know your not alone and for what it is worth, send positive thoughs your way. I can tell your destined for some great things, with or without diabetes.

Keep your head up and your heart pure.

The crazy crap with this disbetes is that it is not only a disease that limits us in diet and other crap, that it is a extreemly emotional drag. it is sometimes prety overbearing and makes us responcible for some many things even when we ae no ready for them.

I want you to know as well I think your A1c of 7.5 is prety awsome.
Try not to let this ge you to far down. If you ned help or just a, "I've ben there and yoru doing fine." or even the blunt sright truth. We are here for you.

I wish you well

Robert
