I was diagnosed with diabetes at age 18. I didn't know what it was, so I went to the library and looked it up.
Diabetes is an all-too-personal time bomb which can go off today, tomorrow, next year, or 10 years from now - a time bomb affecting millions like me and the children here today.
I'm diabetic.
I've been slightly hypoglycemic since I was a kid, so I have to make sure I eat in the morning and get my sugar.
I had low blood sugar, a chemical imbalance, plus the normal nervous breakdown everyone goes through from adolescence to adulthood.
The production and consumption of glucose, and hence, the blood sugar level, are controlled by a functional endocrine equilibrium.
Because I don't produce insulin, I have to put insulin into my body, which means that I have a pen with a needle on it. I have it with me. You have to stick it in your thigh, or your arm - a lot of different spots you can put it.
My dad is a Type 1 diabetic. I grew up in a household where we were really conscious about cutting back on sugar because we had to for his health.
There are life-threatening issues related to diabetes.
Diabetes is all about insulin levels and sugar levels and what you put in your body.
Insulin is a crisis medication.
I am diabetic.
I need insulin to stay alive. It's just therapy to keep going. What I can do is make sure that I keep my blood sugar down to a reasonable level. I can exercise, and I can eat properly. And insulin plays a very big part in that.
I have strange blood sugar levels. I get very odd if I don't eat. I either want to hit someone, cry, or fall asleep.
I was diagnosed with diabetes mellitus Type 1.
There's a YouTube video of these two kittens that just fall over and pass out. My blood sugar's crazy, so I would pass out sometimes, like the fainting kittens.
I was diagnosed with hypoglycemia, an abnormal decrease of sugar in the blood. Eventually I learned to eat five small meals a day. Now if I'm making a movie and get hungry, I call time out to eat some crackers.
I'm hypoglycemic, so if I don't eat I start to get really blood-sugar crazy. I feel like I'm going insane.
If a patient became sugar-free and blood sugar normal on a basal requirement diet, the caloric intake was gradually increased until sugar appeared in the urine. The tolerance was thus ascertained.
I like a lot of things but I am diabetic so I have to be careful with sugars.
Production and consumption of carbohydrates is so well regulated that there is a constant blood sugar level; any accidental increase or fall in blood sugar is rapidly compensated.
Diabetes is a lousy, lousy disease.
Diabetes is caused by melancholy.
A friend hipped me to hypoglycemia, which an article I read calls 'a disease for a nation of sugar junkies.' Who knows how many people in this country have it?
