Type 1 Diabetes & Me

My name is Noah Rhoades and although I have Type 1 Diabetes i don't let it control me, I am 12 years old and I play Baseball. Although I have my lows I still play like a regular player, and get treated like a regular player. While sometimes I get asked "Is your blood sugar okay?" I honestly (while im in the middle of a game) I completely forget about my diabetes and enjoy myself.

But I honestly do not like my diabetes I sometimes cry, Whine, and even throw temper tantrums. But I just wanted to let you know even with all those i still manage to do everything a non-diabetic would do.

So honestly i want to let everyone know diabetes only controls your life IF YOU LET IT!!!

so everyone should accept it, but not let it ruin their lives.
