I'm 17 years old and I had been admitted to hospital a couple of times. At first I got told I might of had meningitis, but after all different types of tests they diagnosed me with MODY diabetes which is Maturity Onset Diabetes of the Young. It is sometimes compared to type 2 diabetes and shares some types of type 2 symptoms.
Getting the news I was shocked and confused. But now I have taken diabetes into my own hands and dont let it control my life. Having diabetes isnt the end of the world. Yes, its a disease but if you think about it your better off than most people.
