Hi everybody
,
I just turned 31 and I've been a type 1 diabetic for ten years now. Like a lot of people, I've had my ups and downs dealing with it and have definitely felt like my friends and family try but just don't understand. I consider myself extremely lucky to have their love and support though, especially since I was diagnosed with two more autoimmune diseases this past year (Lupus and Graves). I've been on a pump (the Omnipod) for about 2 years and have a good handle on my blood sugars. I love not having to deal with 12-15 shots a day anymore while maintaining tighter control! Now if only I understood the other two disease's...lol
