I am a athletic person so it is ruining my lifestyle, by sitting around or lying in bed all the time. Read more of this post

Now here is what has been happening to me:
For the past couple of days I feel like I have to eat right on schedule (before 9, again before 2:30, before 6 and then a small snack at 9 again) or else I feel kind of sick and light headed and soon after get a bad headache. As soon has I eat something it goes away. I’ve never had that problem before and it really had never mattered before when I ate. Read more of this post

What can happen if you use your insulin pump before the training class?

Posted by · Leave a Comment 

I know this is a lot to read, but I would be extremely grateful if somebody could answer this. I just had to get a new insulin pump because my old pump company went out of business and it was near to impossible to get pump supplies. I never got any, so we switched. I was on my last pump site when i got my pump. I really had no choice but to figure my own pump out and use it considering i get sick if I’m off the pump (and just taking regular shots).

I am 16 and I have had my cycles since June 18th, 08
For the past few months I have been feeling lightheaded, and sometimes dizzy.
I usually eat only 1 meal a day and my mom thinks I eat more but I throw my food away or give it to my dog because I cant eat. I get sick and I even cry when I have to force myself to eat.
