Hello Everyone!
I am a 31 year old F, Wife, Mother and daughter. I’ve had T1D for 29 years of my life. Yes diagnosed at 2 1.2 years old.
Recently I am in transition to switching insulin pumps as my last ones warranty ran out.
Confession. Since becoming a Mom, everything is so much more precious to me. Thus including my quality of life and how much of that life I may or may not have. . . . .
I’m not the healthiest and I haven’t taken the best or worst care of myself. Like any 20-30 year old I wanted to “live” so among those choices I gained weight and am in the 300lbs range and well. . . I’ve reached the point I’m terrified. The switch to my pump has been awful. My sugars are all out of wack and I feel terrible and the mental status of concern (but some would call over thinking) has begun.
I’m terrified I am going to die young and not be able to see my 4 year old next week child get her first boyfriend, graduate high school, walk down the isle or heaven willing, get married to the love of her life.
I just need some hope. I’m staying strong. But I need hope.
How old were you or even someone you know when you were diagnosed with T1D and how many years have you lived with T1D?
I feel like based off internet research I’m doomed. . .
