Since my childhood I have always been close to my grandmother. Throughout my teens and adulthood I learned what diabetes was and how to deal with that situation and how to care for an individual who has that illness. Before I used to panic and just call the ambulance, but now I know how to deal with it and learnt all the steps that I seen my mother do as she cares for her, too. There is a lot to take in and handle when someone goes through diabetic seizures, all the emotions and how to remain calm yourself and get them feeling well again and reassure them. Have to check on them constantly and check their sugar levels everyday and give insulin and all medication. Now it is a part of my lifestyle to look after her and it is incredibly hard work.
