Well the last time I wrote about my life with Diabetes was when I was twelve years old. Well two years has past. I am now fourteen years old. If you did not read my first article well you should before you read this one.

  In my last memoir that I wrote I talked about how and when I was diagnosed with diabetes. I also talked about what diabetes is and also what you have to do when you are a diabetic. Also I mentioned how I coupe with this disease. Now I feel like I should renew my article since I got older and stuff has changed.
  Well I still have not gotten back on an insulin pump. Also I don’t think I will be getting back onto a insulin pump since they don’t do that much good for me. I’m better off taking shots all the time because at least then I know that I’m getting the insulin.
  Last time I wrote I was doing shots like normal. One shot for breakfast, one shot for lunch, one shot for dinner, and my last shot known as lantus right as I went to bed. Also anytime I ate a snack I did a shot. Well now instead of doing my lantus shot as I’m going to bed I do it with my dinner shot. I now do it with my dinner shot because it helps control my blood sugar level when I wake up in the morning. I used to go to bed at a normal level and wake up super high. But now that I do my last shot at dinner time I go to bed and wake up a good blood sugar level.
  Of course I still have trouble with my Diabetes. It tries to wear me down, but I don’t let it wear me down. If it knocks me back I go charging forward. Having diabetes sets barriers for that person, but I will break through those barriers and all the other barriers it will try and stop me with. Some people will let diabetes defeat them. Like one of my friends former coach. He is basically about to die because he let his Diabetes defeat him, he let it win and he gave up. I will never give up.
  My A1C level is now getting lower which Is very good. If I still show my Diabetes doctors that I can control my Diabetes they will let me be independent at school. Since I’m in high school its hard for me to go into the nurse everyday at lunch. It just becomes a hassle. Although if I am allowed to be independent, I will be able to everything on my own at school. That way I wont have to go into the nurse everyday.
  My Diabetes gets harder to control the older I get. But as I get older I get tougher so I can fight back and control my Diabetes no matter how hard it gets.
  Diabetes can and will kill you if you don’t control it. It’s a extremely serious disease and I am extremely serious about fighting it.
