I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in 1994 at age 11. I did not manage well until my mid twenties when I began to recognize the power of positive thinking, exercise, and nutrition. Now, my A1c's stay under 6% and I have been able to lose weight and improve all of my other health conditions. I am married and have twin toddlers. I am the editor at http://thegirlsguidetodiabetes.com and forever a work in progress.
"No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it." "Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds." Albert Einstein "Being unwanted, unloved, uncared for, forgotten by everybody, I think that is a much greater hunger, a much greater poverty than the person who has nothing to eat. " Mother Teresa "A man is rich in proportion to the number of things he can afford to let alone." Henry David Thoreau
