Can someone with Type 1 Diabetes be just as succesful in school, sports and anything else?
I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes when I was 9 years old. Type 1 Diabetes is a disease that has no cure . It's where the pancreas in ones body refuses and cannot process the requirement of producing insulin. Insulin is used to break up carbohydrates and to process energy. There is no cure for Type 1 Diabetes I began with symptoms such as thirst, nauseousness, drowsiness and having to frequently have to use the restroom. I got home that evening and checked my blood glucose level which read HI, indicating the level of blood being above 600. My life changed right then and there. I had to change my whole diet and way of living. I had to have a detailed calendar indicating when and what to eat. I have to check my blood sugar up to 5 times a day and inject insulin into my body by needle to break down the carbohydrates I eat.I can live a normal life style and do anything anyone else can do, and live an absolutely normal life. I chose this topic because I have two brothers with Type 1 Diabetes and my mom's whole side of her family has it. My grandma, uncle and many other family members are decease because of this life threatening disease. So my question is, Can people with Type 1 diabetes be just as successful in sports, music, school, and everything else?
