The life of Dakota 

Week tahi:

Hi my name is Dakota and I have type 1 diabetes,How you become a type 1 diabetic is by your pancreas failing if you dont know what a pancreas is look it up. There are a lot of things that you need to remember to do to stay alive. Things such as checking your blood sugar level, doing insulin, checking your ketones, and other things. I am going to tell you about two of the basic things to know, What is a low? a low is when your blood sugar level goes 4.0 or below. If you are 4.0 or below you need to have sugar and carbohydrates, so usually if diabetics have a low they have a juice box and a bar. The way they do it is juice wait 10-15 minutes then test again then if their higher the 4.1 have a bar if they are not they have another juice and so on. If you are high you need to do exercise and drink a lot of water and if their still high they will drop later on or you can give your-self a little bit of insulin so you can drop down. You might be thinking whats the lowest diabetic can go? it's 0.0 if a diabetic reaches 0.0 call the ambulance right away. Then they should have a like EpiPen on them so when they pass out and they can't drink or eat anything you put that in their thigh and give it to them so that they sugar in their body to get them to wake up.You also might be thinking what is insulin? Insulin in what you have in your pancreas to keep you from having diabetes so since type 1 diabetics pancreas doesn't produce enough insulin the doctors give them needle that has insulin in it and they put the needle in their stomach and squirt the insulin in. 

Today I was 20.7 so I had some insulin and ran and I am going to drink my whole water bottle
