Hi...I'm 16 years old and I just got a
blood test done for dm today. I will get
the results next week...I have increased
thirst, always urinating, always hungry
even after eating, i'm really, really
tired all the time, I vomit
unintentionally after eating. I also get
symptoms of hypo/hyperglycemia, and have
passed out once.So i'm kinda nervous. I
wouldn't be surprised if I have dm, but I
do have a question. I also have cerebral
palsy. Is diabetes associated with cp at
all?

Hey there again. Well, you defiantly
have the symptoms of a diabetic. I do
not think it is associated with cp.
Becoming a diabetic at first is really
hard to cope with and come to reality
with. I went through a lot of denial but
it just becomes a part of your life and
you learn to deal with it like you would
any other every day routine. If you need
support continue to post. I am sure this
is a great group here. I am also new
here. So far looks like a great place to
come for resources. Feel free to ask me
anything I found out I was a diabetic
about 6 years ago, I am currently on an
insulin pump.
