I've been diabetic since I was barely 12...now I'm 26, and yet still trying to figure it all out...more mentally then anything (it doesn't really fit my personality). Hope to talk to you soon! Good Luck with the move :)

Well Haley is out of her honeymoon period, and we are dealing with the contast daily battle of getting her numbers get in the normal range. It is so hard as a parent, I can not even imagine what it is like for you all. I will continue to do what I can to help find a cure! Thank you for creating this space, you are amazing!

At 4:38pm on February 21, 2008, Renee said…: Hi Jen, great to see your dealing with your diabetes and life in such a positive way, very inspirational. My little girl has had diabetes for 5 years now and is doing great, it can get tough at times as you would know, but i also believe she got the D for a reason. She has just started school which is a huge challenge for me, but she loves it. She is on the pump now and has been for about 4 months, it's a god send i tell you. I haven't been on this site in soooooooooo long, it's great to be back. I'll be sure to keep in touch and good luck with your song writing, sounds fantastic. All the best, Renee xo

About me...

Hey all I'm excited to be here and talk to other diabetics like myself. I was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes when I was 20. I am now 28 and its been an up and down road, but I think its all been worth it. I believe without a doubt that there is a God given reason I have this disease and my goal is to help others with it as well as help find a cure. I am married to a wonderful man and have two beautiful children who are always right by my side through the good and bad of diabetes. They are reason enough to wake up with a smile everyday and do everything in my power to stay healthy, strong, and active! I'm a stay at home mom as well as a songwriter. I'm currently in the process of moving to Nashville and I'm very excited about tackling this writing dream of mine head on. Writing is my therapy, its the details of whats in my heart, and I love to wake up everyday and try to write the best songs I can. My other goal and dream is to have a benefit concert once I'm in Nashville to help raise money for JDRF. I want to do all I can to help find a cure!!I'm also in the process of working towards being certified in fitness and nutrition. . I believe it will not only help me to be healthier, but I'm hoping it will help me to help others get healthier as well!!! Well enough about me, I'm just blabbing now!!! :))) I look forward to meeting all of you and if there is anything I can do...be it just someone to talk to about diabetes or be of any help whatsoever, please let me know. Also if anyone is interested in pursuing this dream of a benefit concert shoot me an email. Thank you all! Have a gorgeous day! Hugs Jen jenmangum2002@yahoo.com

We Will All Die, But Will We All Live?

There is only one guarantee in life and that is that we will all die. Too bad there is no guarantee we will all live! I’d sure like to get to the end of my life knowing that I lived and didn’t just try to live to survive. After all like I said we’re going to die no matter what! So if I can help myself to stay positive and live by that then maybe just maybe I can hel… Continue
