title | My life as a diabetic. | |||
text |
Ive had diabetes since i was 2. as you can probably imagine the worst christmas of my life. i was diagnosed on december 22nd and had to spent the next 10days in hospital. at first i was on 2 injections a day. that was bad. i remember when my mom used to shout me to do my injections i would run and hide behind the sofa with my legs sticking out! but as i got older i knew it was something i had to do. being so young when i was diagnosed you'd think i'd have great control because id of grown up without sweets. well no. my sister was a chocoholic so there was always chocolate in the house. it got so bad that my mom had to hide every bit of sugar or chocolate beacuse if i saw it i'd take it and run now i know how to control myself. in 2007 1 went on to 4 injections a day but my bloods were still high constantly and being in high school made it worse. i remember this one girl who hated me so much she used to call me diabetic & anorexic i didnt make me feel much better about being diabetic but it was life what could i do? however a couple of weeks ago i went onto the insulin pump and i'm finding it great it beats havin 4 injections a day by far hopefully i get better control on the pump and i never end up in hospital again | |||
