Hello!
I'm quite young to have Type 1 diabetes, right? :P
1. When I found out that I had diabetes, I was very young, so my reaction wasn't as intense as my parents, who were devastated. They thought I would be born the "perfect child" with no health problems.
2. Definitely. I have to cope with extreme moments of feeling fatigue. My weight also fluctuates from being normal, and then a week later I'm underweight and need to eat more.
3. Ack! When my blood sugar decreased I had literally no energy. I was barely able to stand, worse yet walk to the kitchen.
4. As much as I hate needles, I gotta get at least 2 injections a day.
5. Again, the things I struggle most with are my energy levels, especially when my blood sugar is low.
6. No I don't, but I am on a diet.
7. NO. Eating too much unhealthy food is the worst thing to do if you have diabetes! I have a snack/dessert here and there, but I don't eat sweets all the time.
8. The lowest blood sugar point I've hit was 52...or something close to that. I was hospitalized, and the doctors had to fight to get my blood sugar up or....yeah... but I'm fine now! It still drops from time to time, but a soda or some ice cream usually fixes that problem.
9. When my blood sugar drops, I have to eat a load of sweets to get it back up. Otherwise, no.
10. I was actually born with Type 1 diabetes since I was exposed to it during my mom's pregnancy. Although I've always wanted a little sister, she put herself on birth control to keep it from happening again, so no little sister for me. :(
11. My sugar level is usually around 79 or 80.
12. I never really understood that I had diabetes until I was 8, and that's when my blood sugar starting dropping like a bomb.
13. Type 1.
14. I get so tired sometimes, plus I can't eat too much junk food. I've also recently been put on a diet.
15. My parents were shocked and disappointed, and like I said my mom per herself on birth control. They've also kept tabs on the way I was acting, such as if I was shaking or stumbling, to determine if there was a problem.
16. If you're in good health, appreciate it. There are so many kids out there who pray that they can see the next morning. Sometimes, you don't really appreciate having good health until it's gone and you can't get it back.
I hope this helped you. :3
