What's It Mean to Have Type 1 Diabetes?
Your doctor says that you have diabetes. It's a serious health problem. But you can learn how to live with diabetes and stay healthy. The more you know, the better you'll do at managing your diabetes. Asking questions is a great way to learn. Let's start with some of the questions you may be asking now.

Why me?
We're not sure why some people get diabetes and others don't. We do know that having diabetes is not your fault. It's not because of something you ate. It's not a punishment for anything you did wrong. And it's not your parents' or your doctor's fault.

Will having diabetes change my life?
It will change some things. Living with diabetes and staying healthy takes work. There's a lot to learn. Right now you may feel that you'll never understand it all. But soon you'll be a diabetes pro! And the changes won't keep you from having fun.

What kinds of things will I still be able to do?
You can play sports. You can eat food you like. You can have a good time with your friends. You can do well in school. Your days will be different in some ways than they were before. But diabetes doesn't have to stop you from doing anything you really want to do.
