[QUOTE="vickstar10, post: 275242, member: 34963"] I know this is old, but thought I would say something. I am now 19 years old, I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at 2 1/2 years old and was one of the first people who had diabetes where I live. I have some retinopathy, and have not so good eye sight anymore due to constant unstable blood sugars. My last HbA1c test for example was 12.4. This is because although they have tried everything at my doctors, my blood sugars are and have always been very irregular and are never normal. They are frequently in the 30's and do not come down during excerise. They have told me that although I eat healthily and do everything I need to do as a diabetic they can't seem to figure out how to make my health any better. They have said If I every get pregnant, my baby would not be born as it would have very nasty health effects and serious illnesses, and if it would be born it would be too disformed and wouldn't live and would die at birth or during pregnancy. I have no hope for the future, as my condition seems to get worse. So I wanted to put my story on here just so that people were also aware that things do not always go well even if you are doing everything you can to stay in good health. [/QUOTE]
