hello! im new to this group, my name is leslie and i am 24 year old
who has had diabetes for 18 years. i have definitely been a less than
compliant diabetic for most of those years. i have sustained a
typical amount of damage; severe retinopathy, peripheral neuropathy,
nephropathy, and gastro paresis. its a lot less damage than i should
have, for what i’ve put my body through, thats for sure. what can i
say, it was hard to be a teen and young adult with diabetes and not a
whole lot of support. i’m on an insulin pump now, two weeks into it
actually. and its been a lot harder and more frustrating than i
expected. bloodsugars have been fluctuating like crazy. i have been
told its to be expected while all of my rates and ratios get worked
out, but its been physically and emotionally draining. i have been up
checking bloodsugars at least every two hours for the last two weeks
straight. i am sticking with it (for once in my life!) in hopes that
the benefits will far outweigh all the work it takes to get there. if

anyone has any words of wisdom i would really appreciate it. thanks!

Hello, I am a new member from Philadelphia, who has just been
diagnosed with diabetes. I have just turned 40 this past summer, and
this came to me as a big shock. I was admitted to the hospital,
where I learned that I had almost gone into a diabetic shock, if my
co-workers hadn’t gotten me to the hospital. I hope to be able to
associate with some new people here, who may be able to help me get
use to this. Thanks for allowing me to become a part of this group.

Hello all,
My name is Deb, and I just joined the group.
I am a non-insulin dependent diabetic. I am 50 years young and was
diagnosed 10 years ago.
I also have the hep-c virus.
I take oral medication for diabetes and also high blood pressure.
I try to walk everyday but most times too tired to.
I joined this group because I know from experience how blood sugar
ups and downs can effect my moods.
I have also been challenged with clinical depression and so …. I
thought it would be a good idea to join those that have the same
challenge of being diabetic.
I will say this…I hate being diabetic.
It is alot of work. Eating the right foods, keeping stress levels
down etc. Sorry…but that is the truth and one of the reasons I

join you.
That’s all for now.
thanks for this forum and your support.
Lilady..a.k.a. Deb
I encourage feedback…thanks!!

Hi! I am not a diabetic. I’ve been doing research
on diabetes and various other
disabilities/illnesses. I have a club too. If anyone would like to come
in and share life experiences, you’ll find the link
in the links section.
