About Me
Hi. I am a 32 yr old female. I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes 3 years ago. Diabetes has definitely been one of most challenging things that has ever come my way. I have been up and down with my progress over the years. I will be doing very well and then stress (work or personal life) seems to throw me off course. I have learned much about myself, my body and diabetes in general through out this journey. Dailystrength has been a wonderful source of information and the people have been so supportive. It makes me feel less alone when I read the posts. I wish everyone well and pray that everyone can successfully control their diabetes!
