New to MFP...

Hi!! I have been insulin dependent diabetic for a few years. I recently turned the big 4-0 (boooo) In late 2013, my then 3 year old daughter, was diagnosed with Rhabdomyosarcoma (yes, my baby had cancer ) While she was going through 46 weeks of chemo and 20 radiation treatments, my MAIN focus was her!! I failed to see my endocrinologist over a course of a year and finally went to her Thursday. My A1C was 12, smh. I really let myself go. My endo referred me to this site and I am just super impressed with what I can track and how wonderful it is already, and it's only been a few days! I have 5 wondeful children: ages 22, 17, 9, 4 and 2. I am married, live in Indianapolis. Now that lil mama is in REMISSION, Thank God! I have to focus on me. 10 years from now, I don't want to be in a position where I'm having organ failure due to not taking care of myself, knowing that my CHILD beat CANCER. I have to do this for them, for my family, for myself.
Thanks for listening! Wish me luck LOL!!
