ALLERGIC TO SUGAR.★ 

I'LL TELL YOU ALL ABOUT MY TYPE 1 DIABETES.

 I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes when i was 14 years old, i had lost alot of weight and was getting sicker and sicker the usual signs, i have had more than alot of trouble controlling it, my mother was sick with cancer when i was diagnosed so i tried to take it all on with my siblings they were also pretty young so we had a tough time. i have had more then 50 admissions to hospital and was in a coma once, i no how serious my illness is but sometimes its just easier to ignore it, i no there are people out there who don't have a treatment for their sickness which makes me feel really selfish when i ignore mine, its such a silent disease diabetes from the outside it looks as simple as checking ur sugar and jabbing yourself with a needle, noone fully understands what goes into it imagine not being able to just jump in the car and go for a drive with mates without making sure you have all your needles and equipment plus something sugary in case you go low and some food to balance you out, i cant just jump in a pool for hours and lose track of time or go to a party or a nightclub and drink to much without forgetting to check my levels and have my insulin, counting all the carbs in what i eat and calculating my excercise for the day to match my insulin, being a teenager is tough enough, trying to impress your new employees but knowing your always gunna need that extra time then anyone else. im not usually one to complain but i would do anything in the world to have one day without diabetes one day to be able to sleep in, one day to skip a meal and not worry about going  low
i just wanna be like everyone else, i wanna travel without being pulled up because i have syringes, i want to go out for dinner and not be looked at strange when i have my injection. theres my rant of diabetes, one day we will find a cure i hope. 

love to everyone out there with an illness remember its okay to have weak days but always stay strong and do your best ❣
