Ask Ginger

Hey Ginger,                                                                                                                                                                         Does diabetes ever make you depressed? A kid in my high school has diabetes and he told me he also goes to a doctor because his diabetes makes him depressed. I get really angry about my diabetes sometimes, and it’s been getting worse since I got into high school. I just wish I didn’t have it, and didn’t have to deal with it. It doesn’t seem like you’re depressed, how do you keep diabetes from doing that to you?                                                       -Adam

I was diagnosed in 2003 when I was nine in third grade.
Hey, I am a person with type one diabetes that is pretty much out of control. It's a long story to how I got here, so I'll spare you. My current situation is this: Everyday I maybe check my blood sugars once or twice and when I do insulin I don't usually do it the right way. Read more
