Greetings, I am guessing this forums for Young Adults and Teens is a good way to introduced myself to everyone.

I am 23 years old, and was born and raise in Linz Austria. I was diagnosed as diabetic at 2 years old, with I am told a blood sugar of over 1500 ((American measurement)). No family historie of diabetes, so it was new to my family. I always seem to have problem with blood sugar controll over in my home country, so some family on USA, suggest that I come , so we did. To make a long story short, my diabetes ended up with controll, due to my USA part of family knowing about diabetes. I have since this time, started on insulin pump ((5 years)), been able to be schooled normally, and taken good grasp of what diabetes is. I do have trouble working ((nurse tech))  as far as being diabetic, and college schooling ((nursing)) for the same reason. I have constant lows at work, in what the nurses have to help keep eye on me - for I have passed out a time. But other than that, I am doing well. I find out about 1happydiabetic.com by youtube - and love it

So glad to have you post.  And I am happy for your diabetes journey getting better.

I know for me, my blood sugar drops when I am nervous or in a stressfull situation.  Like a work presentation or a demanding task.  I always try to remember to check my BG before I enter to a situation like that, and eat some carbs to cover my expected drop in BG to come.

Best of luck my friend, thanks for joing and adding content to the site!

nursing school will wear you out I just graduated with my RN it was ruff I tell you but always check the sugars and see if A CGM is something your insurance would cover it helped me out big time.
