Looking for Diabetic Moms

Hello R.,
I just found out that I am a diabetic. Type 2 just taking pills 2x a day. I need to lose some weight but that has been real hard for me. I did lose 40 the first month I got real sick. I have thyroid disease so I also take synthyroid. My life has changed so much now with this. I find myself more sick now then before. I have good and bad days. But I have a 10 yr old son that keeps me going. I am having a hard time keeping my diet. I also have bad acid reflux. I take nexium for that. What a wonderful pill that is. But I do have to say that God is the real reason why I am still alive. I can not complain because I feel that I could be worse off. If you want to talk just holla this way. God bless you.

Hi, Reggie, I am not yet on insulin but on the pills for diabetes. I was on shots in 2000 cause I was gestational diabetic and now i am diabetic (tpe 2). I am supposed to be on a carb diet but it is soooo hard to stay on it. like to chat with you when you want.

Hi R. and other Diabetics

I am Type 1 now for 19 years. (booo) I have been on the Insulin Pump now for I think 3 years. I use Medtronic Minimed, Paradigm model. I love it. My doctor introduced me to the pump and I could have kissed him. It was a lifesaver. I see Dr. Greg Flippo, an Internist, I do not like Endocronogilist to well (sorry I misspelled the word) anyway, they are no fun, besides an Internist sees you for anything.

My blood sugars have been easier to control since the pump. Although I have done what I think most would do on the pump, eat the foods we were told not too while on shots, but hey we have more control now, so I don't miss a beat anymore. But I do pay the price in weight gain, although was I became diabetic, that's when I became overweight. I do plan on talking to my doctor about the LapBand procedure.

I also take Synthroid meds, for my Thryoid.
Efferox, I'm a nut case, I do have 3 young kids, 12, 8, 7. -- 2dogs, Bichon's they are just as bad the kids so stubborn, oh and a husband, hee hee. love the man. but he does fall into the catogory of the kids and dogs. hee heee.

I do not excercise, I have a darn stupid herniated disc, it hurts so much, and knee trouble.

So that's my story.

Hi R., I am a type 2 diabetic on pills but had to do shots when i was pregnant 2 times a day. I had my daughter c-section on nov 1st 2006 and a week after i had her i had to go back in the hospital. i got infection in my incision and it had started to eat into my stomach they had to reopen me, and leave me open for a week being packed twice a day. my dr said i got it because i am a diabetic since then my sugar runs real good not had to do the shots again, but my mother is a type 1 she is on shots. her sugar is bad tho its always over 200 and has been way higher
