My Story
My Diabetes Story
I was diagnosed the summer of 2007.I am considered a Severly brittle Type 1.I have no family history of Diabetes and was otherwise healthy. So this came as a big shocker to me.I am back on my Animas pump, but wanting to get on the One Touch Ping and CGM.I have my good days and bad.My Diabetes is a Roller Coaster, I never know what curves,flips or turns will come my way. I just do the best I can to handle them.I have been in denial from the beginning, but finally am coming out of that.I want to learn All I can about this Disease. I have finally come to Accept this Disease.I don't understand Why,but I have finally Accept this is Me, this is MY LIFE now.I've been in the hospital countless times for DKA, as well as too many lows at home.I'm a stay at home mom and I dabble in Everything.It keeps me busy and I write Everything down!!I am a Cajun Woman,living in Cajun country, we have Way too many Hurricanes and fish All the time. I love camping and spending time with my family,but need Jill time as well.I have feelings & emotions I can't explain sometimes and I'm so glad they have this site for people like us to share & learn.
Hey Jill
You have all the water & hurricanes & I have all the heat in Arizona. Read your blog & want you to know that your talking to people that understand a lot of what your going through. Denial is what almost everyone my self included goes through at first. I don't deal with the lows that so many people do. I seam to have my sugars under control for the most part. Counting carbs is what keeps me in the good range. Hard to do all the time but well worth it in the long run, at least for me. Any time you want to talk, just let me know.
