Busy week

This past week I want to youth camp. I had fun. And guess what! I got to meet a diabetic there too. It was great to meet a diabetic. And he was a guy. The last day was the day I really talked to him and his sister. Than later we showed each other our pumps. I love having some one elae that is close to me and that lives in Michigan.

Also talked to his dad. He told me that he did not know that. Than we talked more about diabetes. I told his dad that I been a diabetic since I was 3 1/2. He said "Wow, so you dont know life without diabetes?" And no I dont. His son was de'xd at 10. And he is now 13. So it's been 2 1/2 years since than. I thought the cool part was he and I were on the same term.

Than on Saturday my brother got married. I now have 2 brother's and a sister-in-law and my best friend is my step-sister-in-law.

I dont know how I did it but I keep my Bg's with in 100 sometimes 200's most all weekend. But saturday only once was I high. After the wedding I was 491. But I was 140 or something. I am still doing good.

Open letter..

Dear Diabetes,

We have know each other since I was 3 1/2. But I dont like you. I never have and never will. You put my mom and dad though hell for 10 years. Weather it was checking me in the middle of the night or me being sick. They take care of me. Did they like it? Most likey not. I would not want to pock my 3 1/2 year old child 4 or 5 times a day. And give her shots 4 times a day.

I know they did not like getting up in the middle of the night to check me. And cleaning up after me when I thow up. But they did it, cause they love me and wanted me to live.

But I still do not like you and my mom and dad dont like you too.

Since I have the pump my life is better but before it was hell. I hate everything you made me have to do. One of there day's or year's there will be a cure for you and I will not have to deal with you anymore. You may be apart of my life for ever but plz dont make it a living hell.

I know you ever take a night off but plz be nice with me. I have not done anything to get you in my life.


With kindness
