I was 13 when I developed the classic symptoms of a person who gets diabetes: a lot of weight loss, a tremendous thirst, and blurry eyesight. My mom took me to the hospital, and the doctors took some blood tests. My blood sugar was so high that they knew right away.

We take the shortest route to the puck and arrive in ill humor.

With the glucometer, I always know how much blood sugar I've got, so I can adjust my insulin or the food I eat.
