I ...Kayla, I have had diabetes since age 7 in 1989. I went through most of elementary, and all of middle, high school and 2 different colleges with diabetes until I entered the working world. I want to tell you, there is time for everything. It seems like time is speeding by right now because all you have are deadlines and all you have to look forward to are holidays, but when you stop having to worry about homework, studying and all the craziness going on, you have time to live life! (Unless you plan to have a crazy, hectic job that involves all that on a daily basis, in which case--good luck!). It took me to age 32 to get things under control. And I've been married for 5 years and only recently decided that I want to have kids. I must say though, don't stress too much about when you check your glucose. Every time I did a 2-hour post breakfast check in highschool I would be on the higher side, take some insulin to compensate and then I'd be chasing lows for the rest of the day. If I didn't check, there was nothing to stress about! By the way, CGMs really help with that and if you can I highly recommend getting one! And with a pump you can just bolus every time you want to eat and it will compensate for residual insulin and correct highs. <br />And anyway, from what I read on your blog: You're doing great!Maggie Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13960650536644856637noreply@blogger.com
