It all started when i was thirsty for water 24/7 i was in a hotel and even woke up in the middle of the night to drink water from the faucet without anyone noticing. I tried hiding this for about a week when my mouth started turning white all the time, however i got rid of this by drinking more water. I kept telling my mom I was okay and she trusted me however she begged me to see a doctor. After a urine test and showing all the symptoms on Feb 26, 2010 I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. I was 13,small and skinny, and now 2 years later i think i still have a lot to learn. Only about one or two people on both sides of my family had been diagnosed. However living far away from my family I was not familiar to diabetes and was very scared. After being diagnosed I had to be sent to a better clinic that specialized in diabetes because the equiptment they had weren't as good it couldnt calculate my BG and said it was 400+ mg/dls ... At the better clinic it still couldn't calculate and said 800+ mg/dls
