Well, my grandmother on both sides are Diabetic and one grandfather.
just a few years ago, i had taken care of one of my grandparents due to her being ill and had recently found out about her Diabeties. it was hard for me because i did not know about the diease and was about 15 at the time and it was hard for me to know that she was sick and was uncapable of taking care of her self due to being very ill not so much the diabeties but, by other things. so i had to check her levels and when i turn 16 cuz both my parents work i would take her to the doctors. but, she is better know and is able to live on her ownhas been doing this so a year now.
my father's mother i had no idea she was diabetic until out of the blue she need her kit
and wanted me to get it and i was shocked cuz she was a health strong women. pretty much sums it up.
