Hi, I was diagnosed @ 4 with type 1. It took awhile in that time to be diagnosed because kids weren't supposed to be diabetic. Anyways I was judged souly on my disease when I was younger. Friends parents wouldn't let me spend the night or go places and such. As I got older the judgment shifted to my weight. I was thin, always had been. And after a while I was way under weight, weighing in at 97lbs.
I'm 20 now, and what I'm saying is no matter what spectrum your at you will be judged. And at 15 you'll feel even more so. And this is going to sound like a cliche but, don't care about it. Work on keeping your sugars stable and keeping yourself healthy. I sincerely wish I did that at your age. You can't please everyone, next time roll it off your shoulders, they can't hurt you if you don't care about what they think. Also, take a few close friends and teach them about the disease. This will make your like simpler to have some one to talk about it and actually know what your talking about.
