First post...here goes!

Hello and welcome to my little space in Cyberland!

This is where I hope to share some aspects of my life as a Type 1 Diabetic which I hope will be of interest to somebody out there someday.

I was diagnosed as a Type 1 Diabetic when my youngest child was 2 years old. Initially I was hospitalised for over a week which I gather is quite rare now and I was immediately put on insulin which was like a miracle drug. When I was first hospitalised my blood sugars were a staggering 44mmol - that's almost 800mg/dl in US terms and I was really quite poorly.

That was 15 years ago and I thought I'd share a little about my journey with you...
