 My name is Aspen and I'm 10 years old. When I was 4 years old, I got diabetes.  When I first found out I had it, I remember wondering if I would ever be able to eat sugar again. I also wondered if the diabetes would ever go away, and if I would always have to have my parents take care of me.  I remember being scared and sad when the doctors and nurses said it would never go away.  I felt like I was very different from everyone else, and that I would always be left out of things.  I felt all alone.
