My advice isn't going to be specific to diabetes and control but I hop it helps!
I would say don't let diabetes stop you doing anything! There are just a few things you can't do (military jobs, commercial driving...) but there's so much more you CAN do!

My best advice would be to get in a routine that works, keep your blood sugar under control, and after a while of having a GOOD routine, it'll become second nature. Hope this helps :)

Well I was diagnosed when I was 3 and I'm 18 now. It's been a long road and I've made many mistakes, but the biggest piece of advice actually came from my doctor to my parents when I was diagnosed. He told me to NEVER let diabetes hold me back from anything and to let me have a normal life. Now obviously you can't just ignore having this disease but I'm a competitive athlete, I've traveled my myself...all with diabetes! Stay in control, but don't let diabetes control you!
