| My Diabetes | ||
I don’t generally hide my diabetes from people who already know me. I have, when meeting someone new, not directly mentioned it. I think I do this because I want others to know me because of who I am, not because of what I have. -Caitlin, 13 years oldIt was kind of scary at first because I was nine years old when I was diagnosed, so I’ve had it for about five, almost six years. After a while, I kind of got used to it. It’s just been a pain in the butt. -Julie, 14 years old Diabetes has always been just part of being me I don’t think my life has changed because of the diabetes, but I do think that my life has, in a manner of speaking, grown up around it. Diabetes has been a part of my life almost as long as I can remember and living with it has always been just part of being me. I think that at this point in my life I am a much healthier person because of it. I am very conscious of both what I eat and what I do. -Mary, 25 years old
