So, you've been diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes (commonly referred to as Juvenile Diabetes). Is your life now officially over? By no means....
Life Changing
You can be assured your life will change in many ways. The biggest thing you will notice is you have a much greater responsibility than the majority of your friends. It's up to you and you alone to take care of your body. Your parents or loved ones may try to help in every way, but only you know when you're not feeling right.
Will It Go Away?
As of now, no. This is a disease that, as of now, has no cure. Sounds scary, doesn't it. Well, it should. It's nothing to take lightly.
Type 1 Diabetes can be managed though. This is done through constant checks and adjustments of blood sugar readings Your doctor will give you all of the education you need to control your blood sugar. It's ultimately up to you to follow these guidelines. We all ask ourselves "Why me?....Why did I get this disease?" No one really knows for sure. Research has shown that type 1 is not hereditary.
