Hi Leah, Yes, I have a medic alert. I've had it for ages, even though at first glance you wouldnt think my health would merit it. My reasoning was that when I was younger I rode/trained many horses every day, often alone and far from home. If I got injured, it was a form of ID that I...

My blood sugars were consistently over 200, but I got the go-ahead to try to change things and keep watch. I was successful. My blood sugars dont spike above 150 or so now and I can keep them above 60 (they used to rebound down very low to seizure level for me). I do a combo of careful food...

Sue, you're not alone here. I was in a similar place 2 years ago. It really sucks. I felt so cut off from people too and so depressed about my future. I am so sorry. Some days it just seems like everything comes crashing down. Let us know how we can help you. *big hug* -sara
