Type 1 Diabetes: Calvin's War

But every day is a constant battle against an enemy that will not relent; an enemy that requires careful vigilance and treatment; an enemy that science can not—as yet—defeat.

I try to motivate other diabetics who may be depressed about the condition, and hopefully pump people up, and make them become proactive about the condition, and make them feel positive about it.

Make sure this condition regrets the day it hitched a ride on U. Play it's game. Umay lose some of the battles, but U make sure U win the war.

Thank you for making this video. My daughter was diagnosed last year at the age of 9. I never knew why she was sick. I did not know the symptoms of Diabetes. She gets picked on alot at school because of what she has. Which is so cruel.

@Skatila1234 "They get too much money from us just by selling insulin. :) motherfuckers"

Please don't feel this way.I know there are some people who like to bash the pharmaceutical companies because they make alot of money.They say the cure for cancer also won't be found.This is bull shit.There is a tremendous amount of research being done all over the world.There is money to be made from the cure also.They are VERY close! Stay healthy and be ready when the cure becomes available! Good luck.

@haleymadimckenzie I agree with you. Yeah type 1 sucks at first but you learn to live with it. I now look at type 1 diabetes as a benefit. I've met some of my best friends at diabetics camp. Don't let diabetes control your life.

@mermaidofsuburbia uh yeah he can its not about what he eats its about the carbs he eats and how much insolin he takes to cover the carbs he eats one unit of insolin is about 20 carbs so when you eat a 100 carb meal you need 5 units insolin he can eat whatever he wants and he will be fine as long a he takes the right amount

@mermaidofsuburbia 194 isn't that bad for a young type 1 diabetic. At that age you're looking for around 150.

[hopeaug1]
