"I got Type 1 diabetes just before christmas it was not what i asked for, but i had loads of good presents." - age 7

Bobbie

My name is Bobbie. I'm nearing my 13th birthday, I have been diabetic for almost two years. I got Type 1 five months after my Mum, who also has Type 1. I can say I was shocked, at first. I was in hospital for three days, whilst they got my blood levels under control. I've got used to being diabetic, and although it can be testing and trying, my Mum and I, are aware that we can keep ourselves happy and healthy if we monitor our levels regularly. And mum always says - "it's not the end of the world and some poor people live with much more serious illnesses".

I know it sounds funny, but I will live a healthier lifestyle because of my diabetes.
