"When I was told I had diabetes, I was really worried that it was going to wreck my life"
Daniel, 15

"I want to go to university and become a vet. I've always wanted that, and having diabetes isn't going to change anything."
Geraldine, 14

Having diabetes needn't wreck your life. Diabetes is a well-understood condition. There are treatments available that work well. You can learn to control your diabetes, but you will have to make changes to how you live. And if you control your diabetes well, you should be able to live your life how you please and do whatever you want.
