Lots of people have diabetes now, so many people know about. For you people that don't know about it or want to learn more, that is what this page is about.

Type 1 diabetes:

Type 1 diabetes is when your pancreas fails. Which means that you have no more insulin in your body. So you have to manually inject insulin into your body with a needle. You can inject the insulin in various places of the body. The thigh, stomach, back of the upper part of the arm, and the butt. You also have to check your blood glucose level before every meal. After about 2 years you can switch over to a insulin pump (with a doctors permission). Which is when you don't have to always inject a needle into your body. Anyone can become a diabetic. It is not contagious (so you can have a friend that is a diabetic) and if you do become a diabetic it is with you for the rest of your life. But remember that it is not horrible to have. Think about it, it's better than cancer. And you can also control it.
Never gove up and don't let diabetes control you.

Take care,
