Diabetes Is Not One Size Fits All
“I’ve eaten so much sugar, I’m probably going to become diabetic.” I’ve heard this phrase a lot in my life. At work, school, amongst family and friends and it didn’t use to bother me until recently. November is diabetes awareness month and I wanted to educate a little bit about the differences. I have been diabetic since I was 13 years old. When I was diagnosed, I didn’t realize that it would mean an entire lifetime of finger pricks, insulin injections, doctor visits, and constantly looking at food labels to determine the correct dosage of insulin to inject. I am a type one diabetic which is very different than a type two.
