" At the age of 7, do we really understand what is happening? "
“At first, no one told me it would be for my whole life. I had no idea. It took me about a week to find out. It was mostly anxiety. It was very new. I spent a lot of time in the hospital; I didn’t really understand what was going on because I was pretty young. “

“For the tiny boy that I was who loved candy, it was first of all a shock. I had to learn at a very young age with my parents how to manage my own diet. I have two older brothers and I am the only diabetic. It made a big change in my family. ”
