Diabetes

I started getting more tired and cranky in June 2011. Then my mom took me to the doctor and they said I have diabetes. Which meant my pancreas stopped working. I had type one diabetes. I have to take an insulin shot often, at least five times a day. And I had to prick my finger to see my BG (how high or low my blood sugar is). I was very scared at first, but I got over it. And instead of a shot now I use a pump which is a device that gives me insulin every time I eat. When I got diabetes, it helped me get better at math because you have to add and subtract.
