I could be type 1 diabetic. i'm horrified. is this fear justifiable?

Find out first.: You stated you "could" be a type i diabetic. Before scaring yourself too much - have your doctor confirm if you are a diabetic and if so, what type. Many type 1 diabetics maintain good control of their disease through lifestyle and medication compliance.
