| Survey for Diabetics
1. What type of diabetes do you have? The bad type.
2. At what age were you diagnosed? 14
3. What type of treatment are you using? The expensive one.
4. Do you control it yourself (testing, insulin)? If not, who does? Nobody. It controls itself
5. How many times a day do you test yourself? A lot. I don't count or keep track.
6. Does it affect your confidence level at all? Confidence? Of course it does. If you can beat this you can beat anything! But I haven't won yet.
7. Are you more careful with your diabetes when you are out with your peers? I have no peers!
8. How many times a week do you exercise? Seven. Getting out of bed is exercise. Make that six then.
9. How many times a week does your blood glucose go low? At least once. But I can't tell anymore without testing. See #5.
10. How many times a week does it go high? It? It goes highabout 25 times a week when you account for the spike immediately after eating.
11. Have you ever been to some time of camp or a support group for diabetes? That would be a positive.
