I thought since I have been a Juvenile Diabetic for sixteen years, I could blog about my experience and how I have gotten through it until now. I have had Type I Diabates since I was in third grade. Being a Diabetic is not all that bad. When I was diagnosed at the age of eight, I did not understand what was going on. My teacher notified my mother of me using the bathroom a lot, drinking a lot, and feeling dizzy before lunch. My mother took me to the doctor's and then the nurse pricked my finger. My blood sugar reading was 378, which is extremely high. My primary doctor sent me to an Endocrinologist and from then on, my experience began.
My goal for this blog is to inform people about the truths of Juvenile Diabetes and add some tips to lead a healthy lifestyle. Having Juvenile Diabetes is not terrible. There are worse diseases for a person to have other than Juvenile Diabetes. This disease is not fatal and is manageable. It is important to understand that a person with Juvenile Diabetes can live the same lifestyle a person without Juvenile Diabetes can live.
I think that posting about something as serious,personal and helpful is great. I believe you can help a lot of people especially children who don't know about juvenile diabetes and might use this as a tool to make fun of others who do. As a person who lives with it everyday I believe you can guide people through the experience while providing them with helpful ideas and support to hep them get through it.
