So im new to this site and thought i would just tell alittle about myself. Im 19 and have been a diabetic since i was 13. At first i did real well with managing my diabetes but as i got older i hated it and just kind of put it to the side thinking that nothing would happen if i didnt take care of it. i was in the hospital a few times a year for about two years. Then i gained alittle weight and i freaked out and figured out the i could use my diabetes to control my weight by letting my sugars get high. So then i lost a bunch of weight and got down to 100 pounds, was very unhealty, and then it finally hit me that if i want to live a good life then i need to get my ■■■■ together. so by my senior year in high school i finally started to take good care of my diabetes. my sugars were back to where they were suppost to be, my A1Cs were in the 5 and 6’s, and i was getting back to a health weight, Then i started college classes at our community college and in september found out that i was six months pregnant. I was so scared and happy at the same time. I moved in with my boyfriend a few months before that and he was very excited. Then in december of 08 i had my sweet little boy Aden. But i have finally gotten my diabetes under control. I wont lie though i do still have some trouble every now and then. I do also fuss about my weight but i know that i got to keep it together so i can be there for my sons life. well thats the jist of my story theres more to it but thats the basic.
