Control It, Before It Controls You

Control it, before it controls you....

This is some advice I was recently given from a doctor when I was hospitalized...

I've been a type one diabetic for as long as I can remember. I've seen a lot of things and I've dealt with a lot of things. To put it simply, I know the life pretty well.

This is a guide, maybe to someone who has recently been diagnosed. Or maybe to someone who wants to better understand it. Or maybe to someone who knows someone with type one diabetes.

Either way, as someone who has fought this battle for almost 15 years, as of July 2020, I know there's something you must remember.

Control it, before it controls you.
