i have type 1 diabetes and its been since 10 years!
my parents found out about it, by seeing me pale and drinking so much water and peeing so much and being soooo lazy :P
and i get my consultations and checkups at Chronic Care Center >>>
The Chronic Care Center - Treating Today's Disease - Welcome
if someone knows someone who has type 1 diabetes let him know about this organization, it helps the patient stabilize and control his diabetes :)
and also he can get the medicines at a very good price!
and there are about 6000 type1 diabetes in Lebanon if not more!
also there are lots of new technologies and treatments other than needles, but due to international politics and organizational profits they keep the needles in the market instead of introducing the other new medicines which are better and causes less pain!
and even if you have diabetes you can live a normal life much like people who don't have it! you eat chocolate, ice cream, and absolutely anything, but you have to take a shot of insulin while eating!
