My name is Jasmine Richmond, I have had Type 2 diabetes for about 11 years. When I first found out I had diabetes I thought my life was over no more candy or sweets.It can be hard to deal with but thanks to my family and friends for giving me so much support I have learned to live a better life. Due to me wanting to be like the other people caused me to temporarily loose my vision which ,I still struggle with today .It is very important to take care of your health ,I learned this lesson the hard way. I'm 21 years old and I am proud to say thanks to my diabetes I appreciate life so much more.
