MY OPINION
I understand teenager's feeling. If I had such a thing on my body, I would not take care of it very well, but it supports their lives, so they should be more aware of the importance. I cannot imagine how hard my life is going to be if I had the diabetes. I hope they can find a safer medication soon.
