The first few months on insulin I was able to keep my blood sugar under control. During those months I was also lashing out. I envied the people who had diabetes earlier in their lives. I had sixteen years as a non diabetic and I had trouble coping with this new reality. I got into trouble at school and was having difficulty dealing with my parents. I wanted to go out and do different things and they (especially my mom) wasn't allowing me for fear I would have blood sugar problems. The first year as a diabetic was difficult for me. I had the regular teenage angst along with problems coping with my diabetes.
I'm glad that time has long since past.
