We are fighting to make a world where diabetes does no harm

Story

Since the age of 9 my body decided it would flip my life upside down, shake stupidly and throw it back at me with type one diabetes I became very ill and a lot of things had to change.

There are many challenges I have had to face throughout my journey and many I have to do just to keep going, some good and some bad, I was bullied school, I was very self conscious I beat my self up and asked myself everyday "why me" I was very angry with myself and everyone around me but on the plus side I have met some amazing people I went on a diabetic holiday meeting people just like me!! I was given so many opportunities, but that wasn't the end of it, I then turned into a teenager and decided I didn't want diabetes anymore and thought if I don't do anything it won't be there I neglected myself and made my self  very poorly I hated diabetes and everything and everyone involved in it. Its an everyday challenge and some people don't understand how much everyday life influences your bloods sugars, you feelings, the weather, what your doing, who your around anything you could think of will have an effect on your diabetes.

One day they will find a cure but for the time being lets live life at its fullest, grab everything with both hands and jump out of planes while we wait!

Sponser me to support not just myself but to show others around the world that people aren't alone in diabetes! 

And please learn about diabetes before making a stupid comment even if I exercises everyday and didn't eat carbohydrates Im not getting rid of my diabetes and no I don't have to too much or too little sugar version (whatever that is) I just have Type 1 :)
