Is Diabetes a dictator?

How much does your diabetes control your life? Or better yet, how much do you let it control you?   Growing up with this burden has shown me how much it can take over your life if you let it. I remember when I was younger my mom usually wouldn't let me go to sleepovers and certain events because of my diabetes. She wasn't it doing it to be... Read moreChevron
