  • Great video - I was trying to search for the MTV True Life I have diabetes segment that was shown in the USA last week - but due to not living in that country - can't view it - but viola - found something just as good. I've had T1D since the 60's - entering into my 44th year - and doing VERY well. Postive attitude like you say - is the way to be!

  • silly girl...dont prick your thumb...toomany nerves...

  • From one diabetic to another, you're awesome. Email me if you wish to chat. gc

  • @mrsfuzionzero I agree. I'm also type 1 and I inject anywhere. It's not my fault what's happened, so if people can't deal with it it's whatever.

  • @shootingstarskycats Why would you think that? Any relatives?

  • Lots of my brothers and Mom have diabetes as well as me. Soo family gathering are a riot because we are all doing the same thing: calculating carbs and unit ratio, units to inject, eyeing food with carb content in mind, etc. I find that so funny and very normal now I guess. It was not always so but now it is life, and yes, i yank it out in from of everybody to give myself a bolus. There are so many diabetics now.

  • I have the same pump as her :D

  • she sounds exactly like emma watson

  • @taylah43 did you develop diabetes or did you not know you had diabetes?

  • i have had diabetes type 1 for 6 yr and im 14 now. its hard having diabetes but you can alway make it through. my boyfriend had diabetes type 2 but he died a month ago, i miss him. R.I.P Nick
