June 30th 2011 is when I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. It was the summer before senior year, I was only 17. It's been a long 2 years, I've had my ups and downs. in the beginning I was extreamly depressed, i felt like I had no control over my life. But thankfully I took control of my diabetes and I don't let it control me anymore I control my sickness! From the moment I was diagnost I worked hard to change my lifestyle and my eating habits to make sure I keep my sugars under control. I do extreamly well and am proud of how far I have come with it.
