The moment I found out that I could not eat candy and sugary products and I had to prick myself three times a day, I was disappointed because when you are ten years old you are not prepared for such strict management to be able to cope with diabetes.<\/p>\n<p>I am currently 23 years old, and I have lived with diabetes for 13 years, during which I have been able to adapt considerably since, as the years go by with ups and downs, something positive came into my life, which is to have a healthy life and that being cautious with my health is always good.
