Body Image 

Counting carbs, eating disorders, diets, poor weight control, poor metabolism, belly fat, it affects how you see your body. Maybe I shouldn’t eat because then I don’t need to take insulin.

Self Worth 

Your body doesn’t do what it should, you feel different than everyone else, bullying, it affects how you value yourself. Am I worth the effort it takes?

Mental Health

Am I able? Am I healthy enough? Am I good enough? Am I broken? Should I have this? Can I fix it? It affects your mind. The thoughts don’t stop.

Physical Health

Nerve damage, kidney damage, eye damage, heart/blood vessel disease, skin conditions, pregnancy complications, it affects the future. I try not to think about it, but how can you not?
