hello everyone.i was diagnosed at age 10.i think i had diabetes symptoms for years before diagnosis?its been a fight thats for sure,and i havent won yet.ha.there is no one in immediate family with diabetes,but i found out later on that my mothers father was a native american.and died young skinny and alcoholic.i think perhaps a defective gene was passed?as i am told i look just like him.makes me wonder?i drank lots of milk,in the late 60s to early 70s also.i could speculate all day...i have it and i put on the gloves and fought back.so far just some arm and hand pain.i abused my self lifting weights and boxing,and being a mechanic for 20 years would probably do damage to a healthy person.but i am relaxed happy and my a1cs for 2008 were 5.5- 5.6- 5.4- 6.5.........i take lantus and humalog i take 6 shots or more daily.and check glucose 6 times.i ride my bicycle up to 20 kms per day.eat very fresh foods and no milk or meat.unless its from a organic farm.ok thats enough for now,hope to converse here looking forward to it!have a great day.
