Hi, my name is Molly, I am 12 years old and my doctor, named Dr.Wiggy, told me I have type 1 diabetes.


Dr.Wiggy gave my dad and me a great deal of information about how having diabetes will change my life, and I need help. Can you help me?
But first Let's start from the beginning...

I started to notice that I was sleeping a lot throughout the day, I felt weaker, needed to go to the bathroom a lot, and had many different moods.
I went to tell my dad how I was feeling and he said I needed to visit the doctor because my mom's family had a history of diabetes.


So then I went to the doctor and had to get three tests...
1.) A fasting Glucose Test (Tests how much sugar is in the blood after not eating).
2.) An oral glucose test (drinking a sugary drink and getting tested).
3.) A1c Test (seeing how much glucose in your blood).


After running the multiple tests Dr. Wiggy explained to me what diabetes is...
He said type 1 diabetes usually occurs in younger children. It is when the pancreas produces little or no insulin.
The Pancreas!
STOP!!!!!
Let's remember...
Glucose = Sugar in your body
Insulin = Controls glucose
Low Insulin = Too much glucose in your body
Pancreas = The organ in your body where your body regulates blood sugar.
High glucose Levels= Hyperglycemia
Low glucose levels= Hypoglycemia
Why is it bad to have high glucose levels?
Glucose, which can also be referred to as sugar, can cause many health problems when built up in your body. It will cause all the symptoms I had, feeling weak, needing to go to the bathroom and so many more. If I never went to see Dr.Wiggy I would be at risk of heart disease and a stroke because my blood supply would no longer be delivering blood to my organs correctly. So, it's a good thing I went to see Dr.Wiggy when I did!


After a long day, I had to understand that my life will have to change in some ways. I am not scared or sad though because I have people that will help me through it.


The next day I went to the park to read more about my diabetes.
