Taking Care of Me

It was a really scary thing for me when I moved out on my own. I was not only living on my own for the first time in my life, but I was living in a city far away from absolutely everyone that I loved an cared about. The part that made it very scary for me was that it was the first time in my life that I alone had to take care of my diabetes. I had always had my mom before this.

I knew that I had to find a new doctor and that scared me to death, as I had been seeing the same doctor since the day I was born. I did manage to find a great doctor and I have managed, so far, to keep my illness in check.

It is a great feeling to know that my doctor is part of a great medical community here in the city and that there will always be someone I can talk to for advice when I am having a bad day, even if my doctor is not available.
