Hi KeeBear! Iv'e had diabetes for almost 9 years now so I would love to answer a few questions for you! Welcome to the family of diabetics!

Hi Keyana, well firstly I'd like to welcome you to the site. I was diagnosed with type 1 Diabetes on the 29th of December 2012 so I basically spent the first 5 months of 2013, getting used to the disease. I was absolutely horrified when I was diagnosed and believed my life was over but this feeling of hopelessness and negativity faded within the first two months and I was back to feeling like myself in no time. Diabetes is now second nature to me and I honestly smile when I look at how far I've come. Message me if you have any questions as I'd love to answer and give advice. :)
