hi im lou i was diagnosed in 1995 i was 21 and i had been seeing my new boyfriend for 6 months, i was frequently urinating and felt thirsty all the time, my sister who was a NA told me to get tested for diabetes, so i did ..my bg was only in the 300's at the time i was still making insulin and went to a teaching hospital and enrolled in a research study where they paid for all of my care for the first year. i just had to succumb to any and all blood tests, where they monitored me as i became more dependent on insulin as my pancreas eventually stopping making insulin...my BF is now my husband and we have been together for 17 years. i have been in pretty good controll and never really needed support but since having kids and working full time+ i have been having higher and higher a1c's i am now at 8. something and i really want to get it back down to 5 something like i was before kids...so any advice is appreciated
