I have been a Type 1 diabetic since I was 2 years and 8 months old, and I am 17 years and 8 months. 15 years of my history have been quite an interesting time of my life. I've never really had any problems, and have only been hospitalized 2 or 3 times. Just recently my boyfriend and some friends of ours got me into geocaching. Last night he told me about the diabetes travel bug. He came and got me at 7:30 this morning and we set off for the travel bug. We decided to take my dog and that was quite an interesting experience.
