Like you, I was initially diagnosed as type 2 (I guess because I was 31at the time, some old school docs think it's impossible to get "juvenile diabetes"), and tried six different types of oral meds over the course of one year (two of which made me violently ill). Finally, after switching doctors, I was given the correct type 1 diagnosis I've been using a pump for about 15 months, and it has been great. My doctor is now trying to get my insurance company to pony up for a CGMS, but it's not looking good. My husband and I will probably just pay for it out-of-pocket, and hopefully be able to use our flex spending account for reimbursement. I was wondering, though, how were you able to participate in so many studies? My numbers are all over the place too, which is especially troublesome because my husband and I want to get pregnant. I'm hoping the CGMS will help with that.<BR/>Thanks for your great blogs (my favorite being "Late Night Conversations"). I'm still laughing about that one.Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05587162228160651327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17189804.post-1135112078050739952005-12-20T15:54:00.000-05:002005-12-20T15:54:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17189804.post-1132782200121214872005-11-23T16:43:00.000-05:002005-11-23T16:43:00.000-05:00Like Sandra and you said, before I was diagnosed m...Like Sandra and you said, before I was diagnosed my life was going a little too well. Then poof! Chaos. I know how you felt. My doctor also told me I was type 2 but I went and got a second opinion right away. <BR/><BR/>Do you mind if I link you to Diabetes Daily? <BR/><BR/>Take care!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17189804.post-1131632408836060932005-11-10T09:20:00.000-05:002005-11-10T09:20:00.000-05:00Hello Val,Saw your comment over at Six Until Me an...Hello Val,<BR/><BR/>Saw your comment over at Six Until Me and, like Kerri, followed your link here...<BR/><BR/>My 10-yr old son was dx'd Type 1 a little over a year ago.<BR/><BR/>Reading your diagnosis story brought me right back to that time-- when things were going so good for us that I began to wonder if we were due for something big as well. <BR/><BR/>Well, I guess we were.<BR/><BR/>I'm adding a link to your site this morning.<BR/><BR/>Take care,<BR/>SandraSandra Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16664436447708465809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17189804.post-1131593030474154092005-11-09T22:23:00.000-05:002005-11-09T22:23:00.000-05:00Hi Val.
