| Hi! My name is Julia. I'm 8 1/2 years old. I have had Diabetes since I was
5. The doctor discoverd it at a regular check-up, which I guess was lucky
because I didn't feel sick yet. The worst part was the first day when the
doctor had to take lots of blood for testing. I never screamed that loud
before or after. I'm pretty used to my tests and shots now. I sometimes
wish for all the candy that other kids can have but we try to keep
sugar-free treats and ice cream around which I like.
We have a place in
Vermont and I love horseback riding there. My riding teachers name is
Roger. I sometimes ride a horse named Bon-Bon. She is a white horse with
brown spots on her back.
I also love figure skating. I take lessons every
Friday and I want to take private lessons so I will get even better. I also
take Gymnastics, which I like a lot and piano lessons which are just okay.
My 4-year old sister is named Sophie and my brother is named Jake. They are
twins. I have a hamster of my own named Hampton; and my family has a dog,
her name is Molly. We have 2 birds named beautiful Beauty and Peter (my
brother and sister named them).
I'd like to hear from other children who
have Diabetes. Write me at
.
