school starts soon

My senior year starts soon! I think that is so exiting! But i'm a little bit nervous too. This is my first year where i will have to take insulin in school. I'm going to use a pen (the Kwikpen for Humalog) so it's not that bad. I don't want to go low, and my endo wants me to carry glucagon with me, and keep one in school. I always have something on me, such as glucose tabs (well almost always). I know that i will be fine, and i absolutely love my school nurse, so i'm not really worried. Like i said before, just nervous. I really can't believe i'm going to be a senior. I mean, i was diagnosed as a freshman, so it being my senior year already? all i can say is WOW. It seems as if yesterday was my first day of high school. I didn't want to go. I even begged my mom to let me stay home. But i've had alot of fun in school, made some really great friends. SO even though being diagnosed with diabetes during high school i've still managed to make the most of it. I mean i went to my junior prom (thank god for the ultra mini, is all i can say) and i have every intention of going to my senior prom. I have not let diabetes keep me back, and i never will. Sure i know there are things that diabetics can't do (ie: be a pilot, in the services etc.) but i had never planned on doing that stuff anyway. The stuff that really counts, well diabetes is NOT going to hold me back, not as far as I'm concerned.
