My Doctor
I've switched my diabetic doctors many times since diagnosed. They've all been very helpful, as well as the nutritionists I've seen a few times. They've encouraged me to write my blood sugars down, and what I eat, as frequently as possible. It seriously makes all the difference. I know my body very well, and I know how to control my blood sugars -- usually, better than my doctors can. 

I also consider my boyfriend to be my main influence on my health. He is so loving, and cares about diabetes so much. He's researched it, and got it down almost better than I do. Sometimes he can sense what my blood sugar is, high or low, even before I feel it :)

My Relation to Diabetes Patient
Tell us about your experience with/connection to Diabetes
I'm a type 1, oh yay. I was diagnosed at 12, and the hardest part was being told I can't eat any of the candy I got on Halloween. I can't say I don't sneak sugar here and there, but overall I'm pretty healthy. One of the advantages of being diabetic is that you're more aware of your health than the average person.  Chances are, I will probably live longer than most people. I avoid un-pure foods and exercise regularly. I am going to run a marathon for diabetes in the next few years. 
Quick Bio
I am an artist, and I teach art to young kids. I spent last semester on exchange in Amsterdam, going to a Dutch art school, and then went backpacking all over Europe for the summer. Luckily, my boyfriend was there to help out with my diabetes. It was a bit tough at times, but well worth the challenge!
