Happy Diabetes Awareness Month! :)

June 1, 2012 is the date that I will NEVER forget. It is the day that changed my life forever. Seriously. For 18 years of my life I was "normal". Then for now a year and a half it has been different. I now have to check my blood sugar and make sure that it is 120. No it does not mean that I can't have sugar..I can eat whatever I want!! I just now have to give myself insulin for everything that I eat. It is a scary thought. To make sure that I have enough insulin for what I have to eat. Its a life or death situation. Like I have said in my blogs there has been many people in my life to support me and help me get through this. They are here for me so I don't have to worry about if I am going to live or not. I am so thankful for them in my life! So this is the month for spreading awareness for diabetes! I am more than excited to celebrate this awful disease and make it something positive. This is the month where we should think positive about diabetes, and celebrate that we are all strong survivors and that we can get through this. It's really weird to think that this month is not only for my sister, but now for me. I never thought in my life that this month would be something that I would celebrate for myself. But we will make this a fun month and spread awareness! WEAR YOUR BLUE! :)
