i'm so upset

[chellybell123]

I am so upset because I just found out I had diabetes

 

[Rey Mysterio]

It's okay! Ther's this little guy in my school who has it real bad, but he continues life normal- so should you! Just be careful of what you eat. <_<

 

[**UrItChI**]

Oh, I'm so sorry. :furawatchi: That's definetely no fun to find out.

But thank goodness it's nothing very serious, like disease.

But as long as you eat the right foods, everything will be alright.

And if you need any support, Tamatalk is here for you- always.

Just continue to stay active and eat healthy- and everythings gonna be alright.

And remember, nobody's, forcing you to tell them your personal matter ever.

Telling others about your Diabetes is your choice.

And its good to know that your'e not alone.

 

[tamaw/pants]

That's some hard news but remember, you aren't alone.

Thousands of people have diabetes. Get in contact with someone who else has diabetes. They can give you some pointers, what do to if this-or-that happens and help comfort you.

You'll be in my thoughts and prayers.

 

[tamatalker101]

What type do you have (1 2 3 or 4)???? My mom has type 2. Will you have to take insulin shots? Once you get used to it, you'll be okay with it.

It doesn't matter if you tell ppl because 1, they will probably figure it out or ask you 2, It doesn't change who you are!

Good Luck

You could tlk to her about it. It is always good to tlk to someone that is in the same sistuation as you. How did you findout?

 

[chellybell123]

I went to the doctor

 

[VannessaHudgensFan102]

That's really sad

 

[Skippy~Tama]

Which type of diabetes do you have?? Anyway, we're all here to support you.. I'm sure you've got a lot of people supporting you right now. I'm sorry to hear of the news... :furawatchi:

 

[Demostene]

Terrible news....diabetes is never fun! But you'll pull through. Just relax, and be strong. I know you can do it. Remember....TT is always here, so if you ever need anybody to talk to you always have us. Right? Now don't you worry...you'll be just fine. I've had many diabetic friends in my life, and they are all perfectly normal in every way imaginable.

There's a 4? This is news to me ;; Is that like the Juvenile type?

Diabetes is not the worst thing in the world to have. I've known those with family members and a couple of my relatives to have this condition. It just means you will have to take care of yourself a bit more and make any lifestyle changes needed to not have complications later.

 

[pyonchit]

I could develop diabetes, since diabetes is family linked and my grandfather has it. Just remember that you won't be alone in this!

So could I but lifestyle changes can prevent genetic weaknesses from kicking in

 

[chellybell123]

well everybody on my dads side of the family has diabetes exept my dad

 

[tamtamkitty07]

My friend has diabetes and she is perfectly fine. You might have to start eating sugar free things so your blood sugar doesn't go beserk and things like that.

As far as I know, there are 2 types of diabetes. You most likely have type 1, which is found in most kids. This is a little worse than type 2, because the pancrease has stopped producing insulin completely, while in type 2 the pancrease produces some insulin.

In type 1, you will probably have to take insulin shots, which do not hurt and you will get used to them. In type 2, I think you have to take pills and things like that to keep the blood sugar balanced.

MY info probably isn't correct, but I did a little research on this because my cat has diabetes, my friend, and my neighbour. Don't worry, there's lots of people in the world that have it. It might be a little scary but you just have to eat right. PM me for any questions.

EDIT** Got types mixed.

 

[Tama_Lover365]

OMG! im so sorry. I hope that it isnt to bad. I dont know that much about diabetes so i dont really know what to say.

Sorry!

 

[chellybell123]

I just asked my mom and she said type 2

ummmm there are FOUR types. I know because my mom has type 2 and 4. Don't ask how it is complecated

 

[tamatalker101]

oh and I want to add. You will probably have to take blood samples a ton of times per day. Diabeteas(SP?) runs severly in my family so I have to get blood drawn every so often! It doesn't hurt after the first time!

Here is a link to an kinda old website (it doesn't cover types 3 and 4 because they are rare in ppl) It can be really helpful! https://www.diabetes.org/for-parents-and-kids.jsp
