I was diagnosed with diabetes when i was 10 years old and im nearly 15 so i`ve had it for 5 years,and from the day i was diagnosed my life has been runned on sugar counts and insuline. The thing that shocked me was the fact that i`m not like everybody else i`m someone different yes i may be the same on the outside it`s the inside that i am different.

I know everyone means good but they really get on my nerves sometimes by saying things like " oh you cant eat this and you cant eat that " , and everywhere i go all i see is sweets , sugar and more sweets . all i want to do is grab an hand full of sweets and forget for one day that i had diabetes.

As soon i reallized i was starting to get tired more often and drinking massively every day my familly sent me too the doctors and we did loads of tests and the doctor said "im sorry to say but you have diabetes " i never knew about diabetes so we spent a couple of minutes and i came out of the doctors crying my eyes out i soon found out i had to go to hospital i screamed the doctors down caused i dont like hospitals at all .

When i got to the hospital it was so funny i remember the time when a nurse took my bag and i chased her all over the hospital it was so funny when all that was over i was taken to my bed into this wored were there were loads of young kids just messing about, that cheerd me up a little bit .

A nurse came in and siad you may be in hospital but your not missing school i was like oh no but i followed her into this little classroom it was so cool we were playing on this spy game when my mum came barging in and hugging me to death and crying so much that it would fill a little puddle and i said "wow mum im ok really " and the nurse said it as well and my mum carmed down after a bit.

That night i went to bed a little bit earlier that i nearly missed my first injection so i felt a little nugde , so i woke up and all i could see was nurese and an injection i asked what it was and i found out that it was an insuline pen simular to the one i will be using soon i was so scared i actually asked for someone to hold my hand wilest they did it it hirt a bit but not alot after that i asked them if i could go back to bed and they didnt need tellinng twice i was like oh my god but oh well.

The next morning i got my own unique menu and i nearly ordered everything it was so cool. because everything on the menu was subar free i felt like the lukest girl ever and suddenly a big tray with the most delisiose food ever after breakfast i had to say my goodbyes and me and my familly left for home and from that day on my life is not all about diabetes but the condition is still there and also i stil have tantrums now and again but my life is happier than back then .
