Teenagers With Type 1 Diabetes- What Is Your A1c Level?

I know what my a1c levels should be, but I really can't get them there. They're 9.9 right now, and it's been like that for about a year. I'm just wondering if all teenagers with type 1 diabetes are having trouble with it, because of hormones and stuff?

How Much Has Type 1 Diabetes Hindered Your Life?

How Can You Find Out If Your Type 1 Diabetes Is From A Car Accident?/?

about 6 months after I got in a car accident, I went into ketoacidosis and discovered I was type 1 diabetic. But no one in my family has a history of diabetes. I've read many articles about pancreatic damage and diabetes but 3 years later, how can I find out if my accident was the cause?

Is It Normal To Experience Weakness In Your Legs Soon After Being Diagnosed Type 1 Diabetes?

Two months or so ago, I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. A few days ago (and a little bit for a few weeks), I started getting this awful weakness in my legs and arms. Sometimes it feels like they're heavy, like I'll flip. Or they're too light and I'll flip over. It feels like I'm going to fall down. I know this is something that can come out of diabetes... but this is really soon! Is it even related? Should I call my doctor/educators? How do they treat this?
Thanks!

Is Type 1 Diabetes Hereditary? What Are The Chances Of Passing It To Your Kids?

I've dated a girl who is Type 1 diabetic and has several health problems. It has crossed my mind that if I end up marrying her, maybe my kids would have diabetes. Her dad has diabetes and her great uncle died by diabetes as a child several years ago. If I ended up having kids with her, what are the chances of passing the disese to them?

What Are Your Most Committed Baseball Opinions?

Mine are...
1. Had Oscar Charleston played in pro baseball, he'd be considered better than Willie Mays.
2. Mickey Mantle was the single, most talented ballplayer to ever play on the field.
3. Babe Ruth was the best player to play in pro baseball, period.
4. Honus Wagner is the best defensive shortstop, closely followed by Ozzie Smith. However, Honus Wagner is by far the greatest shortstop in the history of baseball. Nobody even compares.
5. Walter Johnson is the greatest pitcher to ever live.
6. Bill James is the greatest statistician today, but a horrible writer. I like his blog-type approach, but authors and proffesors would consider it a sin.
7. Rickey Henderson is the greatest base stealer and leadoff hitter in history.
8. Christy Mathewson, Bob Gibson, and Nolan Ryan are not in the top five pitchers of all-time. Mathewson, who I have eighth, is the only one that is in the top ten.
9. Ron Santo is the greatest player turned down from the Hall of Fame, with Tim Raines closely following him, although there's a good chance he'll make it soon.
10. Sadaharu Oh would not be one of the top five players had he played in the MLB.
