Have been a type two diabetic for three years. I am new to the diabetes board. My name is Christina. I have not been put in the hospital yet for my diabetes. Also what was your reaction when they told you where a diabetic? My reaction I was in shock and really upset with this. But I have gotten use to it now.

I have had Type 1 diabetes for 44 years. I played sports in high school and have successfully completed a pregnancy (after 16 years of marriage). It hasn't all been easy but I decided to LIVE with it since I can't change it. Last December my endocrinologist put me on the insulin pump. I recommend that every Type 1 diabetic talk to their Dr. and look into the insulin pump.
Good luck to everyone.
