Today is my 18th birthday. I STILL can't believe it. Not at all. I keep saying to myself "You are 18." or "Now you are an adult." (That one is a weird thought!). Wow. I'm really 18. I've been saying things like this to myself ALL day. It has been a good day today.
Anyways it is kind of scary being 18 and thinking about diabetes. If I don't go to college I lose insurance. Let me tell you that I'm going to college, although just the local community college right now. Diabetes is definitely a motivator (sp?), that is for sure.
Being 18 means that I probably have to start doing more diabetes stuff on my own. For instance, don't drive--will my mom still drive me to the endo's? My mom can't switch endo's only I can do that now (not that I want to, mind you). It's just hitting me that I have to be more responsible. But I don't feel 18. Certainly not like an adult (I'm only legally an adult-I still feel like a kid ;)
Anyways my mom has a roast cooking for me and there is a cake waiting with my name on it--literally this time. So I wish everybody a nice day and awsome blood sugars :D
