Hello everyone,
I just registered to this forum and I hope this is going to be a great adventure.
My name is Tarek Elsakka. I'm a 19-year old Egyptian studying at the American University in Cairo and majoring in Political Science. Still a freshman since I haven't been doing well, but I've gotten better and I'll hopefully graduate within two and a half years.
Anyway, I searched for a forum about diabetes and stumbled upon this one. I have been Diabetic, diagnosed with Type 1, ever since I was 4 years old (1994).
Diabetes hasn't been a good friend for me so far because even though I go to doctors and travel to several countries for yearly checkups, I don't really manage my diet so I end up getting high percentages when I do the blood tests.
I'm old enough now to start managing everything since I'm afraid that will affect me in the long term, and that is why I came here looking for suggestions, answers, advice, etc.
This will hopefully be a great adventure for me and a whole new lifestyle, as I said.
Thank you for having me here, guys.
Sincerely,
Tarek Elsakka
