At that point his blood sugar was over 600 and his A1C was 15.3 - see, there is always something worse if you look far enough! (The son of my sister's friend was over 800 when he was diagnosed, so that principle works for us, too.) <BR/><BR/>Now our son is consistently in his range of 70-120 with A1C numbers around 5-6. His CNP says based on his numbers alone, nobody would know he has diabetes - his A1C is better than hers and she's not diabetic! <BR/><BR/>I share that to show that even though your world tilted, it will tilt back - albeit to a new degree of normalcy. <BR/><BR/>(Michelle AM)Mama Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02647417825144481742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-882981712914317717.post-68428899472239968632009-03-14T11:27:00.000-07:002009-03-14T11:27:00.000-07:00Diagnosed at the end of January.

I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes when I was 26. I am now 45. I have been able to be complication free so far (knock on wood), but it was not easy at first. Allow yourself to be in denial for awhile, because that is just how it is at first. You will get the hang of it soon enough and be on your way to tight control. I'm assuming you were diagnosed recently, so if not, I'm sorry for giving lame advice.Diannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09344532117266689760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-882981712914317717.post-90363564377624136882009-03-14T09:10:00.000-07:002009-03-14T09:10:00.000-07:00I'm looking forward to following this blog.

Sorry, but I was a little bit shocked. My only experience w/ it was my gestational diabetes. I'm sorry that you are in this boat as it were. <BR/><BR/>Does it make you feel any better to know that I am completely technologically challenged, I encouraged my Hubby to go to school & get not just his BA but his Masters in computer information & I still have no help on the computer?
