I was diagnosed at 10 years old. My parents saw I was losing a lot of weight, and I looked very sick. I played soccer and I wasn't able to keep up anymore. My mom took me to the doctor and that’s when we found out I have type 1 diabetes: a scary thing that I didn’t understand. My friend’s dad had type 2 diabetes, so I understood some, but not the full extent. I was shown how to use an insulin pen and to check my blood sugar and went home. I was terrified I couldn’t play soccer anymore; I love soccer.
