DIABETES
Dieting is very inportant to your body.
I need to use insulin to keep my blood sugars controlled.
Animal, analogue and human are all types of insulin.
Blood sugars are the main things about diabetes.
Excercise is good because if your blood sugar is high then it will get you low.
Tiredness happens when I reduce my sugar levels.
Everybody is special weather they have diabetes or not.
Sugar , sugar ,sugar high or low in blood makes diabetes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My Story
My mum took me to hospital to have a check up ,everything was fine but then they said to check my urine,so I did.They told me they need to check my blood so they did.It did hurt but I managed it,my blood gluecose level was 22.5.Then they said to me that I have got diabetes.I was very sad,But I was a feeling a bit happy because I will get lots of gifts :D : ).First I was brought to sleep in a bed in a room,I stayed there for a while.For the first few days I was not allowd to eat ,when I first notice that I wasn't allowed to eat I was screaming in my head!!!!!!But I got use to not eating.It was my first day I was allowed to eat but that day I only ate my dinner.My dinner was lovely ,that day I had to drink one whole packet of orange juice to turn all the mechines off.The next day I was moved to a diffent room,that had a t.v in it ,my uncle try to put it on but I said no thanks I am sleepy.But the next day my dad put it on for me,but when I tryed to watch something my da! d was all ways watching it.I had some gifts so I played with them for a while,after a few days I got useto every thing.It was the last day in hospital I ate my dinner and went home happily!
