I'm 17 and I was very depressed at the age of 16 because of some side effects from medication I was taking at the time. Diabetes is like the worst thing ever , it's pretty much stolen my life from me. In the summer holidays it wasn't that bad because I didn't do much, but having to rely on food to stay alive is a horrible feeling. Before I was diabetic the cold didn't effect me that much but now I get sick very easily. I also used to be very fit, my pulse was like 40, but diabetes makes exercising difficult. I'm also ways having hypos which is great fun.
