Thank you so much. I guess when they talked to me about it in high school I didn't want to think about diabetes as a disability, but now I can understand why having someone on your side can help with certain professors.
Type one diabetes changed what I was going to do with my life. I decided to become a medical coder because of the schooling options, but mostly because my career will offer me health insurance. HEALTH INSURANCE. A scary word for type one diabetics. There is no way I could survive without it. Luckily, I live in NH where state law requires my father's job to provide me with insurance until I am 26 or am able to get health insurance for myself.
Definately! Diabetes doesn't define us, but it's a big part of who we are and our daily lives.
I'm a registered nurse (just graduated a year ago) and I love it!
I'm already going back to school for for my Bachelors and hopefully one day, my Masters.
