Hi,

Hon, sorry you are feeling so bad.

Actually, the way to feel better is to get control of your diabetes. This means testing to know what your blood sugar is, matching insulin to what you eat, and of course taking insulin on time.

Can you discuss this with a supportive adult who can help you?

Please let us know....

not taking care of your diabetes can cause pancreatitis. Seen my 17yr old son go through it :/ not good. can be very dangerous and become very painful followed by hospitalization. You will be on straight iv fluids and not be allowed to eat or drink anything! Not even ice chips. I strongly suggest you get in to see your endo asap. Please take better care of yourself. I know its hard as a teenager to have to deal with diabetes. However, you must learn to accept it and stay strong! In my eyes, It's the most unfair disease :/ prayers you feel better soon.
