I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes three years ago. Doctors believe that instead of fighting a virus, my body turned on itself. The insulin producing cells of my pancreas were destroyed. Now I get my insulin through a pump that has a device like a catheter inserted under my skin. This needs to be changed every couple of days. In addition I must check my blood sugar with a finger stick many times a day. I take insulin to correct high numbers and cover carbohydrates that I eat. I can eat the same food as a non-diabetic. Unexplained lows and highs are the hardest to deal with. It is difficult to concentrate and my grades in school are sometimes effected.
This is my story and that of many other children battling this diesease every day.
