I never know what to write on these things.
I'm Lili, I'm 30, and I've been with my husband for 13 years. No kids, one cat.
I'm a librarian and I like to read all kinds of things and watch British tv shows. I love curry, but I'm a vegetarian.
Currently I work (from home - that's a long story) for a large software company.
I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes in March of 2004 by my first endo, who insisted I was a "typical Type 2" even though I was underweight, very active, and had been on a lowish carb diet for several years. After a year and half of utter frustration because nothing worked, I finally got a different endo. Once I went on insulin, I felt immediately better and the chronic fatigue I'd had for years went away. I did MDI for almost six months, but found it time-consuming to get the results I wanted, so then I went on the pump, which I love.
I'm kind of odd because diabetes doesn't bother me all that much. I'm guessing it's because I was already disabled and had several chronic health conditions. Some people have called me crazy and neurotic because of my intensive management, but I think they must have been imagining how they would feel if they did it. I guess I don't see the problem, when it doesn't bother me and now I'm in the best health of my life.
Anyone not scared off now? :D
