I am a 23 year old, newly wed woman with a 11 year old stepson and a military husband. I work for a surveying/engineering firm using AutoCAD to draw the land surveys. My life is steadily starting to slow down so I finally kicked in gear with managing my diabetes.


I shoot myself up every morning with 15 units of Lantus insulin. I feel the best I can ever remember. My weight has stabilized for the past 9 months. I should probably lose more weight but my bmi is 24.3 and I have already lost over 80 lbs, so give me a break jeeze. My family barely recognizes me at every function, because I have dropped atleast 20 pounds between 'em. I lost a majority of my weight because of metformin and later ketoacidosis so it gets annoying having people ask me how I lost the weight. Anyways, I am happy and healthy(as much as I can be as a diabetic). I am actually energetic and spunky now. The next hurdle to jump across is getting over my fear of all that entails a diabetic pregnancy, so the thoughts don't consume me. There's the fear I can't wait to long to get pregnant with my husband because who knows when the next complication will come from diabetes. Plus, the fear I'm not ready to keep control over my bs's enough. Add on the stress of knowing what effects all of this might have on a baby. Anybody know what I mean?
