Hi there!
My name is Judy and I have just started with the myfitnesspal program. Here's hoping!
I have been a type 1 diabetic since I was 9. That is more than 35 years, so I'm a bit of an old pro at the diabetes stuff. I am currently on an insulin pump...after a gazillion years on 4 shots/day. Have had my share of challenges with the diabetes After all this time I struggle with a lot of the complications (heart attack when I was 29--retinopathy--neuropathy--NLD--to name a few)...but life is good and I woke up on the right side of the dirt!
Not only do I have DM, but I also have asthma (COPD), allergies, Ulcerative Colitis, Chronic Anemia and arthritis/bursitis. I'm not a "poor me" kinda girl (well, 97% of the time). :0)
I have hit my mid forties and suddenly gained 25 lbs! Yikes! I am trying to cut down but end up with lows and have to take more carb to bring up my bg's. Exercise is a challenge with the arthritis/bursitis and anemia. I'm going to keep plugging on...but it sure is hard.
So, that's me. I look forward to meeting some of you.
