Hi,

I am 28 years old now, but was diagnosed with type 1 Diabetes when I was 22yrs old. The Type2 Diabetes is where the person has a lot of weight gain and has developed Diabetes from the weight gain, but can be controlled.

Type 1 is totally different. I was in great shape too. It runs in my family so that's probably why I have it. (bummer) It was really hard for me to control my blood sugar, as at first it was always high!

If you still get on here and have questions, let me know! I can let you know a lot of info and advice!!!

wow thanks, see thats kinda all info we need to know... diabetes class is coming up, n were going, she just got approved for county medical insurance out here so i have to see how to get into the doctor cuz we need help for sure

sounds like need to contact the doc and make some adjustments to insulin and start watching carbs because carbs turns into sugar. My daughter is a type one diabetic and my half sister is a type 1 diabetic both diagnosed at age 7 my sister actually lost half her leg and almost died cause she went into a diabetic coma. Also have alot of family with type 2 diabetes. My recommendation is to try to keep each meal around 40-70 carbs but would deffinatly disucss with doc first.

shes only 21 years old, like almost 5 feet tall weighs prob around 100lbs has played soccer all her life, always ate healthy... her uncle has diabetes and her 2 year old niece jusst got diagnosed wth diabetes as well....alllllll we can seem to find anywhere is info for people who need to lose weight to manage their diabetes better

Are you taking pills or do they have you on insulin? Sounds like you need to contact your doctor. Something just isn't right. Do they have you watching your sugars or carb counting? Drink lots of water to get that sugar to come down some.
