- Relationship to Diabetes
- Type 1
The worst thing about having type 1 diabetes, William Matz says, is missing out on the birthday treats his classmates bring to school. The 9-year-old Four Georgians fourth-grader can handle the four finger pricks a day to test his blood sugar and four insulin shots a day. After eight years of those daily routines, William says he?s used to it. It?s the other types of disruptions to his day that make him wish he didn?t have diabetes.
?A couple of times I?ve missed most of lunch because my numbers are low,? William said. ?Sometimes I miss recess. If I don?t get an extra snack during sports I might get sick.?
