I thought I had diabetes after I started to watch all of those symptom commercials they were airing at the time. I had every symptom. I let my ex mother in law check my blood sugar and sure enough it was unreadable. Told my mother who worked as a nurse in the hospital and she had me come in and they drew blood. After a couple hours I left with a bottle of insulin and syringes and my life had changed. The only thing I was concerned with at that point is not being able to drink Pepsi.

I was diagnosed as a teenager but by that time I was already a mother and had to grow up well before being diagnosed so I didn't react as if my life was over.
