JDRF Walk a thon Chairman

Hi, my name is Layla Clyde.  I am eleven years old.  I have Type 1 Diabetes.  I was diagnosed with T1D at the age of seven.  T1D is when your pancreas stops producing insulin so you have to inject insulin to make up for the loss.  Without insulin I wouldn't be alive.  As a T1D I have lots of mood swings mostly because of my fluctuating blood sugar levels.  Sometimes I would get really bad and couldn't function well and I would be angry with everyone and felt like I couldn't stop being angry.  I have been violent and broken things and tried to run away on several occasions.  I also have a lot of responsibility put on my shoulders knowing that managing my diabetes will save my health and life.  This can be very stressful for anyone but especially kids.  

I started taking Q96 in November 2014.  After about 3 days I noticed I was able to cope easier and stay calm.  I also noticed I could go to sleep easier and faster.  I used to have trouble falling asleep.  I love Q96!  It has helped me so much in these few months and I will never stop taking it.
