One Word... Boys...

So the question is, do all people accept someone with diabetes? Are they scared or do they just not understand? In my 17 years of life, I havn't had many boyfriends.

Low Blood Sugars during activity

I don't go low during dance practice very often because of my careful planning ahead of time. But when those rare occurances do happen I am very well aware it is happening. Personally I feel my low and high blood sugars extremely well. When my blood sugar rises I drink a lot, have to use the bathroom more than normal, get headaches, and usually... Read more Chevron
