What is diabetes?
text


Is it a world where you hide under your covers, dredding the time when you injection comes chasing after you? is it a knightmare that you live every day, having to test you sugars and put up with pain and stress?

NO! it's a world where people care and want you to do well controling your diabetis. Although you feel everyone is against you, they're not. They believe in you, and hope for the best. They never wanted anything like this to happen. But it's not that hard and anyone can get through it.

There are times when the going gets tough, and you want to curl up and make everything work. But you have to pull yourself together and get back to reality, because nothing is easy, but when you put your head to it, anything can be acomplished. Its just like that with diabetes. It will never be easy but if you work hard enough, it will work and everything will be fine.

Who cares what people think anyway? Who cares if you have diabetes? I don't. Everyone is different, and diabetes is normal because so many people have it anyway. Theres nothing wrong with having an injection. We can eat sweets and chocolate just like any normal people

YOU control YOUR diabetes!! Its NOT the other way round.
