Me and my mum are doing this challenge to help with the costs of researching this horrible condition which has daily affects on people living with it but to show diabetics can still lead normal life's.

All research on this condition will be good whether it be the diagnosis process, the treatment or a cure. #BeatingDiabetes 🎉🦄

My story is I was getting upset at school because family was telling me I looked skinny and not well... I thought at the time that I wasn't but now I realise they where just worried❤️So my mum booked an appointment at the doctors whitch was useless they just said that I was fine😕 Then I started drinking like I had never had a drink and weeing about 6-10 times a night then I wasn't waking up for school- I'm pretty lazy but it wasn't like me 🤦‍♀️ so my mum was looking on the internet and then realise that I could have diabetes so we went to another doctor and he tested for it and he said you are diabetic you need to go to the hospital - I didn't think I was ill but I was very ill - so your blood sugar is meant to be 3.5-5.5 this is people without diabetes mine was 34 and I had keetones which poison your blood ... so we went to hospital and they put me in a little room and done 3 blood tests and put cannulas in my arms and put insulin - this is what I don't produce it's a hormone - and something else i was not allowed to eat and only sips of water I was in the high dependency unit one down from intensive care 😕  I stayed the night then I was allowed to eat small amounts meanwhile my sugars where still high and ketones where high as well ... then got moved to an observation unit and I was getting better then I had to stay the night again and I was a bit better then finally got home and learnt how to do everything!! ❤🌸 This is my story 🌷
