Hi,
Im very new to the whole let's share my diabetes thing! Never even considered looking online fir support. I joined twitter a few months ago and that's slowly opened my eyes to all the other people who feel the same as I do about diabetes!
I'm 25 years old. Iv had diabetes for 15 years. Bad control through teenage years but got it together over the past few years. Plodding along nicely with it all until I decided to start a family. Got hba1c to 6.8% all was good then my eyes began to fail me! Iv spent the last year having numerous laser treatments to both eyes. I am currently recovering from vitrectomy surgery to the left eye and waiting to see if that works and if the right eye will settle on it's own.
It has been a hard 12 months for me. Children r all iv ever wanted and diabetes is stopping me from having that.
Tired if feeling alone so looking for support, education and to know that other people have a crappy time too!
