@webkinz5055 My daughter has been a Type 1 sicne she was 6. She is 13 now as well. I am a Type 1, so is my dad and his mom was. Grab a book by the name Think Like A Pancreas by Gary Sheiner sometime, and Using Insulin by John Walsh. They are amazing books... Mention them to your parents. They are a diabetics Bible I swear. If you have any questions about diabetes, drop me a line sometime. I am obsessed with it and knowledge about it and insulin.

Im 14 and I was diagnosed when I was 4, living with diabete for a long 10 years. The last 2 years havent been very good, and Ive been trying too get better for the longest time. Im the only diabetic in my grade level, and its hard to explain to people that I have diabetes without all the questions that come afterwards. All these videos of teens with T1 diabetes has inspired me to make a video of my regular day as a diabetic, and finally change the way I take care of myself....

I did the NC diabetes walk today I support all with diabetics even though I can't walk with every group I can be in the walk for a cure. :) I hope we find a cure very soon.

Wooooo! Type 1 Diabetes for the win! It is far from a death sentence, in fact most diabetics know more about health and diet then those without. These days Type 1 diabetics are living longer and fuller lives.

 I am Type 1, my daughter is a Type 1, my father is a Type 1 and his mother was a Type 1. Keep on truckin' Samantha!
