I don't know if it's just me but the main posts I see are requests for help or

information but not many responses like there were 7 months ago when I

joined the group!

I try to answer or respond to the newbies welcoming them and try to figure out a decent response while asking for others assistance! Is this site no

longer important or needed by the more Diabetic knowledgeable people?

If it's not being watched by the more experienced then that's a huge

sadness & a major loss to us all. The help that I've received and hope

to keep receiving has been fabulous and invaluable!

Thanks Susan

      Hi Marilyn. I can't remember when I was diagnosed, being.tested was part of a Hospital study I was in. Luckily I found out before many symptoms started. Must be approx. 10 yes.

      The 1st 3 yes I managed it with food then ended up starting on pills. In November 2016 I was in Hospital with serious infection and my sugars went crazy up to 33! So I was put on Insulin.

      Right now I'm trying to remember if it's Vitamin B12 or Vit. D

      I that I need to get tested for my extreme fatigue.

      I think it's Vitamin. B, do you know?
