I am now 23 and I was diagnosed at 15 months old with a blood sugar of 1960. I am now on the pump and I am trying to get better control by checking my blood sugar

Hello, my name is Atina. I was diagnosed on December 17, 2000. My blood was 989!!! I was so close to being in a diabetic coma. Had no idea what was going on at the age of 12, my mon just took me in and we did extensive tests. I still remember it like it was yesterday. Still gives me chills.

Happy 40 birthday your a t1 diabetic. Got the news June 11, 2012

I just got diagnosed on Monday with Type 1. I'm only 17, there's no history of diabetes in my family..it just came as a huge shock. I'm doing humalog and lantus according to a sliding scale for now. I still have so much to learn.

I was diagnosed in 1982 at the age of 8. I am now 38 years old happily married with 2 children :) I can't remember life with out diabetes. I use an insulin pump and see my dr every 3 months and have my blood work done every 3 months as well! I am happy to help anyone with any thing that I can :)

I was diagnosed when I was 14 back in 2007. My blood sugar was in the 800s. I had lost about 20lbs in two weeks. I could barely walk and I looked like a skeleton. My MD told my mom earlier in the week that it was probably just the flu. After five days of feeling worse than I've ever felt I told my mom she had to take me to the MD. My MD took one look at me and knew I either had DM or cancer. ( she told my mom this info the next time she saw her). I went on a pump a year after I was diagnosed and have used one ever since. I now use the CGM w my pump too

I became a diabetic when I was 25 years old I have been a diabetic now for 27 years. I was put on an insulin pump 10 years ago which help save my life. I just recently had my foot amputated because of diabetic issues. I have been out of control for the last few years and that is why I am where I am today. There's no reason for it as long as you take care of yourself and keep your sugars as close to normal as you can. Nobody realizes how Hard it is to live the life of a diabetic. It is just nice to know that there are millions of people that are in the same situation. One day they will come up with a solution. God bless.

After my open heart surgery. Two weeks ago pre diabetes. Now the Drs. think I have COPD now what's next ?

I was diagnosed at age 5 (I'm now one month away from being 23). My sugar was 1600 and my heart had stopped.

I'm 10 and I was diagnosed 5 years ago. It runs in my family but I was really scared. But now I'm a strong and smart little girl. So diabetes was good for me.
