    Hi Amina!

    It’s so nice to see your blog. I was recently diagnosed (at 30) and I’m also a biomedical scientist (postdoc) suddenly so interested in T1DM and a mother 🙂

    Keep up the good work!
    Very inspiring!

        I have a fairly new diagnosis, I was diagnosed about two years ago. I also wanted to say that I also really love science! I want to be a pediatric endocrinologist in the future, so I am working towards that.

      2. Oh really! I love science a bit too much hahahaa. Wow that would be a great profession to go into. You can do it girl.! If your mind is right and you work hard you will be successful. How are you finding the D? Do you wear a pump? Sensor? Injection? I’ve been a pump user now for the past 4 years and Im doing a trial run with the sensor.

        Diabetes for me has just been another obstacle to overcome. I had a lot of health issues when I was very young, so I guess that that prepared me for dealing with the D. It is a pain, but as you know, you can’t afford to loosen the reins or let it defeat you. I am currently still on the shots. I take small amounts of insulin, and for me to be on the pump my insulin would have to be diluted. But that costs a lot more money, so I’m saying no to that for now.

      4. I love your attitude towards the D. I feel exactly the same way about it. Yes I’ve had my challenges with it but I’m patient with it and I try my best to stay positive about it. You definitely have to keep a tight rein on it. Are you state side? I’m in the UK
