Hello my name is Lajuana Thompson and welcome to Living Happy with Diabetes. I have had Type 1 Diabetes since I was 9 years old. I am sitting here with my lovely mother who has Type 2 Diabetes. Diabetes runs in both side of my family. I and my nephew are the only two whom has Type 1. I have not seen a website stating that you can live a happy and full filling life having Diabetes. I am married and have two beautiful healthy children. I had a very easy pregnancy with my babies, which I thank God for keeping me on track. I will have more stories and topics of what I have learned during my life and I hope you will share your stories with me.
I want this site to help people to be positive and stay in charge of their life with Diabetes and get rid of the myths about Diabetes. Meaning that you might as well get ready to die and you cannot do anything about it. I can do everything a non Diabetic can do; it is about choices. And I choose to be healthy and live happy. I still eat foods with sugar, but I check my blood level and I program my insulin pump to help me maintain my intake of what ever food I want to eat. So do not let Diabetes get in your way. Live life to the fullest,
