), and I constantly have to take medicine. The disease has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with my weight, if that's what you're thinking. No matter how much I eat, I can never gain a pound thanks to my metabolism. My parents have been nagging me about it and I can never live a normal life. I have to have my medicine with me all the time, I can't sleep at anyone's house's, ect. Plus my doctor is being super mean to me because he thinks I'm not trying to help with my disease, when I'm trying my hardest to keep up, but I just can't. I have other things to deal with too. I have a lot of tennis competitions and sometimes my disease screw my matches up and I lose. And then whenever I'm with friends, my parents get uptight and they think that I'll start to get carefree and then pig out with food then regret to take my medicine.
I remember the good days when I didn't have my disease. Things were so perfect, but now everything sucks. Every now and then, I end up going to the hospital really sick because of it. And some kids in my school kind of annoy me about it and ask me, "What's it like to have diabetes?" or, "Wow. Does it hurt when you poke yourself?" (I have to poke myself with a needle 6 to 8 times a day in my finger) and it gets really annoying answering them. Nobody makes fun of me, though. But still, some people tend to treat me...different. Especially adults. They think just because I have diabetes, I can't do anything. They alienate me from people sometimes too, and I don't even know why. They ask me all these stupid questions like, "Did you give your medicine?" or, "Are you sure you can eat that food?" And I really want to tell them to just shut up.
It just sucks to have a disease and I really want to be normal again, but that's not going to happen because they still don't have a cure out. I'd rather die than have a life like this, but there really is no use in doing that. I'd just wish that I didn't have diabetes but I'm stuck.
