| When I was 3 years old I got diagnosed with diabeties.. type 1.. I had to take needles everyday and still at the age of 14 am taking needles... Ever since I knew i was a diabetic I always thought of myself as not normal.. or like a freak.. But being a diabetic has made me stronger in so many ways.. Taking needles and poking my finger everyday has made me feel like I can overcome anything now.. When i first got it I never knew cause i was too young to remember..but when I grew up and realised what was happening to me.. I got really scared.. Everyday I wonder if im gnna have a sejure and die.. Or if im going to go to bed and not wake up.. Or if I forget to take a dose of insulin will I coma or never see the world again.. Diabeties can be a very bad thing if you abuse it.. trust me I should know.. Ive been through it.. Once you get into abusing it it's very hard to stop.. Cheating is what hurts all diabetics.. It can get so bad to the point leading to kidney failure, blindness and so much more.. So I urge all other diabetics out there to stop cheating... and if u must have a snack with some sugar take a dose of insulin or two to help your blood sugar get back to normal.. Gaining weight is normal for diabetics so If u see yourself startin to put on a few dont worry.. it's normal. | ||||||
