It all started when I WAS 11 YEARS OLD I began drinking water by the gallon then suddenly the next thing I know i,m weeing loads.A few days later I still had the same problem then it got really bad the same thing was happening every day after a while my step Mum Shell said [too my Dad]"there is some thing wrong this is not normal I think after Jessica has finished school tomorrow you should take her to the doctors".The next day my Dad took me too the doctors I explained my symptons next he asked me to do a wee teast then he told me to go up to the hosptal straght away and said that I might have Diabetes.So my Dad told me to sit down whell he went out side to call Shell and get her too pack me a over night bag.Suddenly I started too cry I was worried because I did not know what type one Diabetes was.Next my Dad came in he said that he had called my Mum and Shell and that every thing is going to be alright and Mum and Shell would come up the hosptal with me.Now I was at! hosptal they did a blood test too see what my suger levels were they were 24 and for a normal person with out Diabetes there sugar levels should be bewteen 4 and 7.After that they told me that I am going too have too stay over night so my Mum said that she would stay over night with me It was quit daunting because they were ching my suger levels all night and injecting insulin in me too bring my suger levels down.After of a couple of days of the same thing throw the night they said I had too inject 3 times a day after every meal and 1 at night and do a pin prick before meals.Now I am 12 and I do not mind injecting and I think Dianbetes is not as bad as people say.
