I was first diagnosed with type 1 diabetes when I was two years old. My parents told me they knew something was off when my breath was beginning to smell like fruit and I had pretty heavy diapers. They took me to the hospital and got the diagnosis shortly after. They told me that I had to stay there for a few days to get my glucose under control as well as so they could learn about how to properly treat and manage diabetes for me since I was so young at the time. My earliest memory of type 1 is having to be on an insulin pump. I had mixed emotions about a pump my whole life.
