She was in her thirties when she found out she had it. My sister is a brittle diabetic and she has had those nights of extreme low blood sugars and her levels are always up and down. My niece has had it since she was a child (type 1) and she just gave birth to an almost ten pound baby a few days ago. Her sugar dropped extremely low while in labor, and she had to be pumped with sugar, now the baby's sugar is low and it is in ICU. We are hoping she gets home soon but first she needs to be regulated. <br /><br />Inger, you are such an inspiration!! You take such good care of yourself, and you keep active. This is why you look so good!! My family > none of them take or took care of themselves like they should. My heart goes out to you and anyone who suffers from this illness.Bobbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13188253296229794880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271959060195052715.post-6272901671301190712011-04-11T10:20:00.165-07:002011-04-11T10:20:00.165-07:00I have a childhood friend who has had diabetes her...I have a childhood friend who has had diabetes her whole life.

When they drop to between 45 & 60 I get cold sweats & feel very punchy. I cannot imagine having to watch them as closely as you do. I guess you do what you have to do--it becomes part of your life but it does NOT determine who or what you are. You are handling your disease with dignity & courage. I applaud you for that!!
