I am 18 now...and have finally decided to take care or my diabetes. But for the past 7 years..I have not had very good diabetes control. These past 2 years have been the worst. I am finally admitting that I do&nbsp;let my&nbsp;&nbsp;sugar run high so that I can lose weight. I am starting to realize my health is more important... But I am petrified to gain weight..because when I started actually&nbsp;taking my insulin and keeping my blood sugar in the correct range..I seriously gained 10 pounds in 2 days. It was sickening. I really do need help... Any advice? I am desperate.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>http://forums.joslin.org/JoslinDiscussionBoards/thread/177.aspxMon, 15 Dec 2008 19:49:44 GMT326bb573-4f25-4adc-890e-1519006fe538:177skylama5http://forums.joslin.org/JoslinDiscussionBoards/thread/177.aspxhttp://forums.joslin.org/JoslinDiscussionBoards/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=41&PostID=177<p>i got diagnosed with diabetes on 12/8 my sugar was 314 i do not have an appointment until 12/16 which is tomorrow with a nutritionist my mother checked my sugar on saturday it was 321 and she said it was high. what is considered high? what is normal? what is low?</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
