Diabetic Retinopathy Treatment Care

Question by Anastasia: How do I lose weight with juvenile diabetes?
I’m 14 years old and I’ve had juvenile diabetes (otherwise known as type 1 diabetes) for about 3 years. I’m 5′8 and 160 lbs (please no rude comments about my weight.) Would you consider that to be really overweight? If so, how can I exersise without hitting so many low blood sugars? It would kind of defeat the purpose, exersising then drinking juice to get my energy back up. Thanks!

i can drink a 12 pack and not feel anything. could my diabetes have anything to do with this?

So, I wanted to start collecting money as donations for the Juvenile Diabetes fund, but I also wanted to be able to give the people who donate a little something. I also think that that would attract more people to donating. For example, when I collected money for the Breast Cancer fund, I gave out little pink Breast Cancer ribbons to each person that donated. I wanted to do something a little different for diabetes though. So, does anyone have an idea?

I have a cousin that has juvenile diabetes. The family has no insurance and it probably over the income for a medical card/chips program.
