Hypoglycemic

I am hypoglycemic - and found out that I too have a condition which could lead to diabetes. It's pretty rough getting used to it especially the food list that the doctor's gave me. I'm glad I have a support group from my buddies at my addiction center, but I know it's not going to be an easy task to ensure that I take in the proper foods to ensure my sugar levels stay stable. I just purchased these "glucose" tablets - has anyone… Continue

I'm Scared...and Hypoglycemic :(

As everyone knows from previous posts here and talking to me, my dad is a type one diabetic and when I was ten years old I brought him around from a hypo purely by chance! That was only cause my Momma drummed it into me at an early age with me 'If Daddy starts shaking and Grabs Mommy or another adult by the hand he needs sugary stuff,' I am ever thankful to my Momma teaching me that. I love my Dad and I see him face diabetes and marvel at how he doesn't let it hold him back. Just today I was di… Continue

Mollie's 16th Diabetic Anniversary!!

Today I'm celebrating 16 years of excellent health as a diabetic.

We like to call it my "Diabetic Anniversary."

Some people don't know why I like to celebrate this day, but for those of you who know anything about diabetes, then you understand it can be very challenging to be a diabetic and be in good health. Since I am both, a diabetic, and in good health, I choose to celebrate my good health to let other young diabetics know that they too can have diabetes and still be healthy
