河北省定州市四中2013——2014高二英语期末阅读练习模拟试题14 At first I was really quiet about having diabetes (糖尿病). I refused to tell anyone in school. Then, when my friends began asking me why I had to go to the nurses office all the time, I decided to tell them. It turned out to be a good choice. Everyone was interested. They asked some funny questions, and I enjoyed explaining. When I had low blood sugar at school, my friends noticed it immediately and were able to help me.

Meeting them and their families has given me a more positive perspective on my diabetes. I have learned to complain less. If children who are two years old can handle it, why cant I? I have also become involved with the American Diabetes Association and the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. I want to help others with diabetes. I figure, Hey, if I have to 1ive with it, why not help others who are walking the same path? If you help one person, you help the world. 31. Before 2001, the author had to ______.
