I will be 51 in June, and I have lived with type 1 diabetes since I wad 11. My last A1C was 5.87. I have found that THE most successful way to manage diabetes is by using an insulin pump, testing my bloodsugar multiple times a day, excercising regularly, and eating balenced meals. It also helps to see my Endocrinologist on a regular basis.Managing diabetes is a full time job, but it is most definitely worth it.

As a mother of a newly diagnosed Type 1, it is encouraging to read your words. My daughter is 6 years old and we're just learning right now. She was diagnosed last April 18.

You guys are amazing!!! I've had D since I was 8... this year in Feb will make 24 years. I've always exercised and, for 16 years now, used an insulin pump. My last A1c was 6.4 and I thought I was doing well. I am, but you are an inspiration to me and am going to aim for the lower 6 to higher 5 range. Keep it up and thank you for being such an incredible role model.
