Welcome to the forums, Eve! With the little ones, you have a very good reason to start taking better care of yourself and paying more attention to your diabetes. Many of us have been in the same boat. Ask questions, learn, teach and be healthy. That's why we're here.

Hi Eve - welcome to the forum. We all have to start somewhere, taking care of ourselves.
What gave you the wake-up call? Have you seen your doc recently? Do you have a meter to test your blood sugar? Did you get some test results recently?
If you think that's the end of the questions, er .. .no - but that's a start
I had to start taking care of myself too earlier in the year when I found out I had uncontrolled diabetes. It can be done, that's the good news. The even better news, is how much better we feel once we've reined in the beast.
Glad you've joined us.

Were you showing any signs of anything to make you "Take the bull by the horns"? Or just the kids were it? I have a 3 year old and a 1 year old and I tell you, I would do anything for them. I am trying to quit smoking, that is not going great but I am working on it.
