I was diagnosed when I was 18 months old (Type 1/Juvenile Diabetes) I'm 26 now. It's taught me how to take care of myself, but still have a normal life at the same time. Still played ball throughout out high school and college. I haven't let being a Diabetic hold me back in life. I used to take 5 shots a day, and prick my finger 5-6 times a day, that stuff got old real fast, especially as a kid when I was the only one of my friends and family to do so. I've been on an insulin pump (The Omni Pod to be exact) for the past 4 years and it was the best move I could have ever done for myself. My A1C has always been good, but ever since going on the pump its been near perfect.
