I was diagnosed at the age of 8 with a blood sugar in the 700s. I am now almost 21 years old and have never had an HBA1C below 9. It is currently 11.6 and my doctors have never seemed concerned.

I was diagnosed in 2009. How exactly does an insulin pump do? Is it better to have that than use shots? Tsh

I was diagnosed at the age of 5. No hospitalizations-thank goodness! During a routine physical, the doctor noticed sugar in my pee and sent me to the diabetes doctor's office. Now I'm 15 and just celebrated my 10 year diabetes anniversary It's somewhat difficult managing my diabetes in highschool but i'm hoping this app will help me keep a discrete log of my numbers so I can get my A1C down!

I was diagnosed in December 2005. I was 25 yoa. Thought it was crazy to be diagnosed with T1 as an adult, but now realize its more common than I thought. Been on a pump for about 5 years.

I was 4 years old and am now 38. I am hoping to get on an insulin pump. Seeing a new doctor, and working with him to achieve this goal. I've been a very lucky diabetic, never been hospitalized of diabetic reasons. And honestly never really done the right thing. Now that I am older I am finally seeing that my luck is gonna run out and working hard to remember to test and get things under control.

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

I was diagnosed when I was 7 in Armenia. That was in April of 1997. I was actually the 10th child to have Diabities. It was something unheard of in Armenia for a child to have diabities. There was no hospital specializing for children with Diabities. Now there are more then 4 Hospitals.

I was born 1992 and at age 1 I got it in 1993. I've never actually remember how it feels to not have it. My body is more resistant to th effects due to having so long. Highest was over 1000 and hospital meters don't register over that... Lowest was 27... In both cases I felt a little sick but not to what most people would experiance. I've never passes out.
Diabetes is damaging if not under control.
