A Lot To Learn

Diabetes is a disease that I have known about for a while because my aunt has had it for about five years now. She once showed me a log she keeps with her at all times where she writes down the day and what her blood sugar level is. There were so many different dates and levels on it that I was overwhelmed. I didn’t realize how many times a day she had to check it. It must be rather tedious to have to prick your own finger so many times a day. I’ve found a lot of interesting stories on the lives of diabetics through the internet from people who have blogged about living with the disease. It seems that I have a lot to learn about what life really is like for a diabetic.
