I was diagnosed with type 1 when I was 9 years old it was on a holiday to Spain got off the plain in uk and mum new straight away what was wrong and next day was on injections and life with diabetes began
I'm now 19. literally a year later on the plane back from Spain again I asked my mum
Me -could I have my second drink before getting on the plane home,
mum said "no you've had enough.
Me -I said that's not fair my sister has had 5 bottles of coke.
And soon as I said that mum new she was diabetic as it was a repeat with of me last year. Without thinking I did her blood sugar it was HI and we told the hostesses what was up and then just gave us water after water and we got it down to 11 by the time we landed
