Family and Friends
When in a diabetic family or house you hear alot of these things. When coming into a diabetic family you have to learn things like giving a shot or what insulin mean to a diabetic.
I was lucky when my brothers found girlfriend's. The 1st time my oldest brother Josh brought Cyndi home for dinner. I though I would have to say something when I pulled my pump out to bolus for dinner. I keep looking at her and all she did was smile at me. Later I said something about it, she said it's fine i'm used to it. Her grandma is a diabetic.
3 years ago when my middle brother brought his girlfriend home for the 1st time. (we all know her cause she was my friend's step-sister at the time) She know all about it cause her mom is a diabetic (weird I know but I love them like my sisters) Alicen is now my sister-in-law as of a year ago.
Not many people would be willing to know someone that has type one diabetes. And when I find my boyfriend that could turn into a husband, I hope he is like my sister-in-law and my soon to be sister-in-law.
When I find that someone I want them to know and understand or somewhat understand what I go though every day since I was 3 1/2. A diabetic life is hard but with the right people to help you and to guide you, it don't have to be hard. Day's when your having a high or low can be hard. You might just want to sit and cry. I have done this but it was not when i was high or low. I was mad at my mom for bring so over bearing. But with the right friends and family you can get thought it.
2 weeks ago I want to youth camp at my church not but 15 mins from my house, the 1st day i was there i was high just before lunch so i gave insulin. Well i gave more insulin at lunch. Not thinking I was going to be running around after a while. We want to the 1st group thing. At the 1st brake we had i want and checked. I was 58 (if i reamber right) I have a snack and a juice. Want back in. 2nd brake not long after the 1st one. I checked again I was 56 (not want i want to go down and not up) snack again. After that game was over we had a other one to go to. I want back to my room to grab some snacks and checked again 115 i think.
But what i'm getting at is one of the dorm mom's that was taking pic's know that i'm a diabetic. She came up and asked if i was okay and everything. Than said If i need anything to ask. When she left my friend that i was rooming with said the same thing. And this friend that said that was standing by me the whole time i was low. We were on the same team. But any way, its friend's like that, who help you get though it.
When I was younger, I did not like people to know i was a diabetic. At one point in 5th grade I was wearing a sweat shirt, (my site was in my arm) I was getting so hot I want to take it off but i did not want people to look at me weird cause of my site in my arm. If i reamber right i end up take it off just cause i was so hot.
i have even gone to church with no swear shirt on and my site in my arm. I did that one Sunday morning before i started to sit with my friends. A brother of one of my friends (their family was sitting behind us) asked me one day on facebook what was in my arm. And I just said I'm a type one diabetic. And that was that. He never said a word about it again and he still talks to me sometimes.
My point is this that is not to be afraid to show your friends or boyfriend/girlfriend that your a diabetic. I came right out and told my friend I was a diabetic and she has no problem with it. If friends are your true friends than they will stick with you no matter what. As one of my friends said though thick and thin or high or low. I love that girl like my sister when she said that. I now call her my adopted little sister.
That's all for now till new time!
Take Care All my friends!

Stephanie, a regular eighteen year old
I'm Stephanie. I just graduated highschool and am starting college in the fall. I'm pretty excited. When I was nine years old I was losing a lot of weight and drinking gallons of water. I was down to 46 lbs. so my mom scheduled a pediatrician appointment, only to find out that I had diabetes. I was told to go straight to the hospital ( we got McDonald's one Last time on the way! Shhhh!). Spent a few days in the hospital then was on shots for the next four years of my life. When I was thirteen I got a clear Minimed blue. Now I have a blue one and a cgm. Makes life easier.
I have a part time job at a health food store, I love to swim, my dogs are my babies and I'm always up to some fun. Diabetes doesn't hold me back from anything
and it never should for anyone. I'm a normal... Well maybe
Not so normal, lol 18 year old girl.

A little about me
Hello all!
I'm Jaimie one of the teen diabetic girls that run this blog.
Stephanie and I become "friends" last Oct. I was on Facebook on one of the teen groups i help run. She was home sick from school that day. I e-mailed her on Facebook and asked if she would like to be my friend. (And for people that know me I am a SHY person all the way!) She e-mailed back and said sure so we gave each other out cell number and began to text. I don't think I have ever texted so much in my life till i meet her. But Hey I love her like a sister!
We have this thing now were I can call her big sister and i'm her little sister! I love it cause I have no sister's (only sister in law's) And she has no brother's or sister's so i'm her little sis!
We give advice about alot of things. One of the thing that we talk about (not a lot) but we do is Boys. Of course what girl would not talk about boys. But we do always talk about diabetes. At one point we would text each other when we would check. And who ever send it would send back what they were. This want one for I don't know how long. Maybe till March or before i cant reamber.
Okay welll I will tell a little about me.
I'm Jaimie Rose Chaffin. I'm from Michigan. I'm 16 going to be 17 this week. I have 2 brothers and who have wife's..My brothers are Josh 22 and Aaron 19 their wife's are Cyndi 22 and Alicen 21. Cyndi and Josh are new Parents to my nephew Joshua Peyton Chaffin who was born 5 mouths and 1 week ago. Aaron and Alicen are due in January with their 1st baby. I also have a nephew named Graivin. His some what adopted into the family. But we love them all.
I live with a disease called Type One Diabetes. I was Diagnosis when I was 3 1/2. I was on shots for 6 years, than i got the insulin pump when I was 10. I live a life or try too just like any other teenager. I eat and drink just like everyone else does. I just have to watch what I eat and what I drink and make sure I count carbs before I eat. And no I did not get diabetes from eating to much sugar. I had chicken pox when I was 1. That don't know for sure if that what did it but they think that is what cause my body starts to attacked my Pancreas after I had Chicken Pox.
Well that's all about me.
Till next time!
Take Care! Jaimie Rose :)
