Hi there Stephanie,
Welcome to our site. When I was first diagnosed there was no one in my family who had diabetes. That was forty years ago, and still I am the only one with diabetes!!! You will find this site very useful. We are all in the same boat diabetes wise, and you will get lots of help, advice, and encouragement by just viewing the different messages on site! If you want to shout and scream we are all here to listen and understand!
