I have been doing ALOT of research on diabetes. and reading statistics is kinda cool. but then you get into the depth of it and its kinda scary. yesterday i read that diabetes can cause blindness, heart disease, kidney disease, and possibily amputation. (so i could lose a limb?) ugh. i mean im only 21. i feel so young to have to have this on my mind every waking minute of my life.
I keep telling myself that i wont let this control my life. i will do things the same way i used to just put a little tweak on it. (checking my blood sugar and giving myself shots) but i dont. i never stay up late anymore, i obvisly cant eat the same stuff, i cant stop thinking "whats my blood sugar" or "what if im low" or "this would be a bad place for my blood sugar to drop" so much for living my life the same.
My doctor told me that when i went into the hospital i had a blood sugar of 350(normal is between 80 and 120) and an A1c (average blood sugar over the past 3 months) of 12.9% (normal is 7) which means i was averaging a blood sugar around 400 everyday. thats scary. recently i have been doing really good tho. according to this awesome app on my phone my estimated A1c is 5.2% which i think is low but the doc says its okay.
i still have to go see an endo. i have an appointment on Oct 18 but seriously that's a month away i want answers and i want them now. i don't even know if im type one or two.
anyway i just want to take a second and thank all my family and friends. you have been so supportive and i wish there was a way to show you how much i appreciate everything you have done for me. i love you all!!
