#1 Why and when

If I'm making a blog about Diabete, and specifically about Type 1, it's just because I have been diabetic insulino-dependant since September 2004. The first symptoms of this disease appeared in August 2004, when I was in holidays near Biarritz. It was incredible how thirsty I could be, and I needed (I could say I have to) to drink all the time. At the beginning it was at each hour, and just before beeing hospitalised, it was every 10 minutes. A complicated situation which was really horrible, I couldn't have a walk or go to the beach without minimum 2 bottles of water just for me. As a result of this, I needed to go to the toilet, at any moment. 2 times an hour, even the night. I didn't sleep well this summer, you guess why. The third week of this August month, I discovered that I had lost around 1,5 stones (10kg). I wasn't excepting anything weird, I was just thinking that it was a hot summer and that I was doing lots of physical exercices. The more weeks went and passed, the more I was tired. In addition, around this same third week, I started to have painful cramps during nights, which woke me up everytime. When I remember that, I say to myself how stupid I was to not tell anything about all those shitty things. In September, when I was at College, some of my friends said to me that I was an undead looking boy. Surely because I wasn't sleeping anymore. Another symptom of the diabete was my terrible mood. I was angry against everybody all the time. I can say I was Hungry too all the time. I needed to eat and eat sweets and sugar and fruits and foods and anything that can be eaten. This situation became really horrible and one day, after I was in trouble with my father due to teenager's cries, I said to him all thoses things. The next day, we went to see the doctor, who said direclty after I had explained him my problems that it was Diabete. My father and I were like chocked and scared, because we didn't know at all what this disease could be. The hour which followed, I went in a specialized hospital by ambulance. I've been hospitalized for 1.5 weeks. Everything was new for me, and during this hospitalisation, I was really lost...
