Type 1 diabetes

Hi All,
My name is Joanne, and I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes about 7

understand type 1 is usually diagnosed in children and teenagers.
I’m a pretty small person,(5′2, 110lbs), and already on a pretty high
dose of insulin for my weight and age. I’m also pretty active. I am

Am one of those who are really interested in any thing other than injections_ (19 yrs of at least two dail injections is more than enough, I think )_ coz of I don’t like the site of injected skin anymore !!

BUT my lungs r not to be the sacrificed price!! especially there is still another phase IV study, after the Inhaled Drug will be marketed, so in real we still don’t know ALL what we might be in front of !!

Hi everyone
I am new to the group and just wanted to introduce myself. I am not a
diabetic, my husband is.
It is not always easy to deal with, and I thought it would be nice to
have a support group so I know I’m not the only one going
through ’stuff’!
I havent read thru the messages, so dont know what all is going on
yet, but will check back often.
