About Me
I am a 28 year old stay at home mom. Glad to have the luxury to do it! I have three kids, so I stay busy with basketball, chorus, play groups, and keeping up with them! My husband is a police officer. I like to scrapbook, listen to oldies, swim, hike, and play with my kids. I call myself teenytania bcz of scoliosis I ended up being real short but always wanted to be tall :) Two out of three of my kids are off the charts and taller than normal? Weird.. :)

Close Scoliosis
I have had idio. scoliosis since i was 13. I am now 28 and they are telling me in the past two years my curve has gotten worse by 11 degrees, and also told me that i would need surgery to stop any more progression of the curve.
Close Back Pain
I have scoliosis with a progressive curve (right now at 60 degrees) at age 28,. They have planned my surgery for later this year. I have dealt with this for the past 15 years, and the pain for the last 9 years...

Open Diabetes Type 2
I have had type 2 diabetes since the birth of my first child. I had gestational diabetes with her and it developed into type 2.(Never went away?) I have had 2 other successful pregnancies thru this and am managing this on diet alone right now. I have lost about 15 lbs, which has helped a lot with it, but have a ways to go.
Treatments
- Humalog Working / Worked
- I was on this during my third pregnancy - it was used to control very high blood sugar during the end of preg.
- Insulin (Regular and NPH) Working / Worked
- Used this as well during the third preg. I was taking up to 6 shots of about 15 units each time. This many shots were horrible, but was used so my baby wouldnt be huge. It turned out that he was 9 lb. 14oz.
- Metformin Working / Worked
- Seemed to be too much for my body to handle - caused low blood sugar too much when diet was maintained.
- Physical Exercise Working / Worked
- This works great and makes me feel better and helps out with the other health prob I have as well.
