I remember getting to feel a bit run down and not thinking enough of it. Then I ended up in the hospital. I had pneumonia, was diabetic and had a blood sugar of 597! I was also in ketoacidosis at the time. I've had my problems since though mostly blood sugar related. In fact I was around 190 lbs last january before coming down with the flu twice (once in January and once in March). I dropped down to 170 lbs by March and with eating less and getting more exercise I am down to 157 lbs now. That means I have to take less insulin with my meals and I am back within my weight range (118lbs - 159 lbs). Of course having a beautiful fiancee to spend time with has proven an incentive as well.
