I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of 14. It has been my cross to bear this lifetime. It is a very challenging dis-ease to manage. One must inject insulin in an attempt to maintain blood glucose in an acceptable range. Simply put, an impossible task. My heart goes out to those afflicted. I am especially compassionate to parents of children who have it.
I will share with you my experiences and how I have managed to stay alive for 49 years of living with it..
