About Me

My name is Michele and I'm 22 yrs. old and live in Mobile, AL. I was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes in May of 2009, talk about total world changer! I'm a nurse in the ICU at a local hospital, I work nights, and I LOVE my job!!! I also love to travel. I've now been to 12 different countries and I love them all!!! I love this adventure that I call life. Its crazy, unpredictable, rough, and most of all thrilling, and I wouldnt have it any other way!

I really recommend that you read actual science articles about diabetes and research such topics as how insulin improves bone density, how insulin helps the brain function better, how insulin makes the kidneys work better, how insulin restores the immune system and how insulin will preserve your sexuality. Insulin is about a whole body approach to this disease. As a warning, my niece did not take the steps necessary and about four years ago, she passed away in her sleep. My mother died of this disease, my aunt died of this disease, my cousin died of this disease. In fact, 65 percent of my blood relatives have diabetes. Even my son showed up with diabtes at age 8. If this were 100 years ago, we would have all died in our teens and early 20s. But thank the Lord for insulin, we get to live full and healthy lives if we are willing to embrace this disease as simply a part of our lives. This disease does not need to effect your life at all except the discipline it takes to inject insulin when needed, in my case every two hours, and eat appropriately and exercise. People uses all sorts of special diets. I don't measure anything myself, but I hate eating too much anyway so that is not issue with me. Keep it simple because complicated approaches lead to failure in business and lead to failure in our personal lives.
