Newbie

Hi my name is Ashleigh.

I'm 14 years old and I have type 1 diabetes. I got it in October 01. I have been wearing an insulin pump named Bob for nearly two years. I live in London with my Dad and my brother Jay. My Mum sadly died while having Jay but Dad does a great job with us.

Dad thought I had an eating disorder when I lost 14lbs and got sick but when he took me to the Doctor they tested my water and my blood. The meter read "HI" the lab report at the hospital said I was 44mmol which is about 790 in american terms.

My Doctor is pleased with me, my latest A1C was 5.8%

I've been reading blogs from the OC for a while and thought I'd join you.
I also have 2 cats called Billy Jo and Jim Bob!

I take trampoline classes on Tuesdays and Sundays and I do ice skating classes on a Thursday.

Just a quick intro. Will post again soon. I'm at school at the moment!!!

Hi Ashleigh

Welcome to the wonderful supportive world of blogging.

I saw your note about Symlin. Given it was partially developed by a company from Ireland, I'm surprised it's not available in England.

It is very expensive, so that may be part of the reason.

And trust me, the lows are REALLY LOW and very scary with Symlin. So it's a mixed blessing.

Anyway, keep on blogging and I'll keep on reading.
