Hi my name is Brittnee, at the age of 2 and a half i was diagnosed with type one diabetes. When we found this out my mom dident give me any sugar only sugar free stuff what she dident know is that would lead to multiply seizures. We figured out what was going on and fixed it. I have had many hard times in my life but all of them i have never been alone in i have an amazing family that loves and supports me. One time i went to my diabetic center to get my regular check up they did my A1C it was greater then 14 and they were very disappointed but then the next month when i went to go and see them my A1C had dropped down to 7 they made me get blood work because they thought that there machine was not working little did they know i had worked my butt off to get it to that point they were so proud of me and congratulated me and told me how good i did it was very rewarding. i am now 16 years old and i have had diabetes for 14 and a half years and i wouldn't change it for the world!
