My Life with Type 1 Diabetes.

My life as a type 1 diabetic has been an incredible, stressful, inspiring, and empowering journey. I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in 1998, and my dad was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes a few years later. These are some snapshots of my life with the disease (as well as my new PINK insulin pump!) and all of the support I get from my friends, family, and God. A cure would be amazing, but I never regret being diagnosed with it because I know it has made me a much stronger, caring, patient, and determined person. I may have type 1 diabetes, but it doesn't have me.

@solofunky Haha thanks. I don't get 99's that often and I don't want to have to keep track of them. I am part of facebook's "Type One Diabetes Awareness" group with over 1,900 members. You all should join!

@kwstinger :) Great attitude. Thanks for your support!

@mrangelonthemoon Wow, we are very similar in that way! Does your dad ever yell at you to check your blood sugar but you know he hasn't checked his? MIne does.. haha it's so annoying. My dad also gets crabby when he's low, where I usually just get quiet & shaky. Thanks for the support! <3

I almost started crying when I seen your vid. Reminds me of myself. I actually have that exact same pump but in purple. For me I am the only type 1 diabetic in my fam so no one really understands me.

Time for me to stab whoever disliked this ok.

Love you though. <3
