[QUOTE="Zhnyaka, post: 2517757, member: 554712"] I was diagnosed with diabetes at the age of 8. My parents took it very hard, they tried to do something so that I didn't have to inject insulin, but unfortunately, it almost cost me my life. But I had a wonderful doctor. She taught me how to cope with diabetes and always said that I can eat sweets if I want, but I need to correctly calculate the dose of insulin for it, so I learned to multiply and divide very early and generally fell in love with mathematics and now I work as a programmer. As a teenager, I thought that sport was something obviously not for me, but a few years ago I became interested in boxing and it seems that physical activity has a positive effect on my diabetes. Surprisingly, I rarely have hypos in training, and after training I need less insulin for food. I noticed that many people are afraid to talk about their diabetes, but I've never had this problem, and now it seems strange to me, because my parents still don't like it if I talk about myself as a diabetic. As a child, it always seemed cool to me that I could give injections, and even now the fact that I can provide medical care is a reason for pride;) All my friends know that I have diabetes and even know how to help if something happens. And quite recently, when the war broke out and medicines began to disappear from pharmacies, literally every friend of mine who was in another city asked if I needed to buy insulin if this medicine was in the pharmacy, and one guy (he's not even my friend, but a friend of my friend's husband) gave it to me, because someone of his friends had an extra one. Another little inspiring fact: diabetes taught me English. My maximum was understanding short comics, but when I realized that Michael Bliss's wonderful books were only in English, I was able to read them (looking at every second word in the translator, but I was able to read a thick enough book). hahaha, I hope I didn't make too many mistakes in this text :hilarious: [/QUOTE]
