So, it's been about one week since I have been home from camp and I am missing it like CRAZY! I learned so much in a week it's crazy. I made some awesome friends from this camp. During camp my group that I had to watch were 13 nine year olds....that of course were ALL diabetics..not only did I have to take care of myself through this I had to help out with all of them! It was very stressful because I am still trying to get in the hang of things for myself, so taking care of all of them just kind of made me not really think about what my blood sugar was. Then after a couple of days I would start testing with them. I had a great time going to the camp and I am so blessed that I went. Just watching those 9 year old girls take their blood sugars made me think that they are all strong. To them diabetes is all what they know. Going through this camp made me think..I started thinking that all these girls don't know what it's like to not have diabetes. Most of the people that went to the camp have been a diabetic for most of their life. For me it's harder because for 17 years before I had it I know what it's like to not have diabetes. I know what it's like to not count out all the carbs and just eat whatever I wanted whenever I wanted. Now going through what they are going through is a HUGE change for me. I guess it's easier for them because they are so used to doing all of that, when I am still trying to figure everything out. I do really miss not having to just eat whatever whenever. But even though this is a terrible disease, everything happens for a reason. Even though this sounds bad for what I have, but it happened for a reason. Maybe the reason is to make me a stronger person. You/I have to think positive about this and not think about the bad things because we have to get through this and we will get through this. "I may have diabetes, but diabetes doesn't have me"
