My name is Kayla Provenzano, I am a Type One Diabetic. I was diagnosed at 17 Months Old. I currently am 17 Years old! I have been in the hospital with DKA five times and was diagnosed with Pancreatitis in March a few days after my 17th birthday! Living life with Type One diabetes as a juvenile is hard but once you get use to living with it, its actually not that bad! Some people ask if taking insulin injections hurt, I just tell them it only hurts if you think about it, I was only 6 years old when I did my very first insulin shot. It hurt at first, but now its an everyday thing!
