Having diabetes for 13 years has taught me so much. It has made me a strong and independent person. But, it’s a struggle every day. Counting carbs is difficult and I tend to underestimate and not check as often as I should. This has caused my sugar to be so high sometimes that I get physically ill. This happens more often than I would like and, although it’s hard, I’m trying to be more careful. I have learned that even though I have this disease, it can’t hold me back from accomplishing any of my goals. I just wish it were easier.
