| Staying Healthy | ||
I gained weight. I knew I had to watch what I ate before, but I really have to now so I think it’s better to lose the weight and stuff. -Alisha, 20 years old You can eat like a chocolate bar like once in a while or like hot chocolate or something like that—at long as you cover it with insulin. -Allie, 9 years old They have chocolate milk at the school, which I can’t drink because it has a lot of sugar. It has like 26 grams of sugar or something like that. So, usually I have something that’s still chocolaty, but it doesn’t have so much sugar. Like, I would have like the 100 calorie packs of Oreos. -Allie, 9 years old Diabetes has made me a more active person If anything, having diabetes has made me a more active person. I run almost every day and hate going a day without it. I also play on a women’s soccer team every weekend. I don’t think that I would be so active, or understand how important it is to be active, if I did not have diabetes. -Mary, 25 years old I try to eat healthy, first of all. That doesn’t always work though – I really like chocolate. So running is definitely the most important thing I do to stay healthy. Keeping active helps control my blood sugar and just makes me feel better. -Mary, 25 years old
