Note- I’m sure nobody is going to tell Nick Jonas that he can’t check his blood sugar and to “get back on stage” if he feels “low.” That is what I meant by accomodating. You can imagine how challenging it is to keep your blood sugar around 150 at all times when there are so many factors that make it raise and lower. Just wanted to clear that up after reading what I wrote above.

My 11 year old daughter was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes when she was 5. People need to know that there is a HUGE difference between type 1 and type 2. Type 1 is autoimmune and the body attacks itself killing the insulin producing cells in the pancreas. Once they are dead, they are dead. The person will be insulin dependent for life. As long as they have insulin (via shots or insulin pump) and check their blood sugar (not to be confused with sugar like you eat) they can eat anything they want. Too much sugar, candy, sweets, treats, etc. is bad for anyone. Type 2 is when you have insulin resistance. Your body makes some, but your body can’t use it properly. Sometimes with a better diet or excercise, your body will be able to use it properly and that’s where the misconception is.

Kids with Type 1 diabetes didn’t eat too much candy….they did NOTHING to cause it. They can live almost normal lives. The only difference is that they have to check their blood sugar and give insulin every time they are eating (or if their blood sugar is too high….above 150). If they are too low, then they just need to eat. Simple as that.

I hope this clears this up a bit. Kids with type 1 diabetes don’t feel sorry for themselves if they are controlling their disease. They can do anything others can do, but ignorant people need to be a bit more accomodating to their needs at times. Nobody seems to care until it happens to them or a loved one, but that’s life.

I have diabetes and it isn’t very cool. I don’t feel like a regular kid anymore. I wish I never ever had it. I got it when I was two. If any of you ppl have diabetes I have type 1.
