When you’re a teen all you want to do is fit in. So whatever quirk that makes you even just a little different from the rest of the kids can make growing up a little harder. But take it from this Type 1 teen, it’s all about confidence and being truthful to the people you surround yourself with.

It may not be easy at first but in the long run you’ll know who your real friends are because they’ll understand, not judge you, and eventually look out for your diabetes too!
