I just gotta take one day at a time instead of being fearful of possible future complications, it's just hard when I am so young but have had this disease for so long-sigh and being anxious really has kept me in not good control but I am ready get serious bout it
Take Care,

You know I am on a mission of sorts,. I have 6 younger brothers and sisters and my parents happen to live in the middle east. My mother has been battling breast cancer for a very long time, it has basically spread everywhere so she is only receiving palliative care. I am here where I need to be, alongside my mother and little siblings doing everything I can to help and make the moments count. I can't think of anything more fitting.
Oh yes, we currently have a cat and a cockatiel. they don't seem like a good mix, but the birdie scares our big dumb cat. it's pretty funny. We've also had an assortment of fish, other birds, turtles... etc.
I am also thankful. When I was finally diagnosed I was so relieved to finally know what was wrong and glad that I could learn what to do to actually feel better.
It's nice to be able to come to this site and chat/ask questions and learn from people going through the same thing....and understand the struggle to find a good balance. that's helped me immensely.
I've had diabetes for almost eleven years now, which is almost my whole life. I'm off by 4 years :]
And yes, I've had a minimed for about 5 years now. I started off with disentronic, but once we found out about the bolus wizard, my doctor recommended it and my uncle decided to give me my birthday present for the rest of my life... :] And actually, I am able to get the CGMS, but my doctor doesn't recommend me getting it for the fact that my blood sugars are so crazy. Which is true, I guess, but I at least want to have a trial run or something along those lines. Just to test it out. I guess doctor knows best :) I have a question for you, and do not take this the wrong way, but was it hard maintaining your diabetes with the slow development of pumps and things to help take care of your diabetes? I'm just curious.
My littlest sister said to tell you your doggies and kitty pictures are adorable!
thank again and you keep rockin' it as well!
Looks like there is lots of room for flying there. our area is slowly getting closed in with highways etc. I am the only female pilot at our club as well but that doesnt stop me I have heaps of fun..
