“I am not accepting the idea that I have diabetes. People will say, “she has diabetes, and I’m the only one who has diabetes. You understand, all my friends do not have diseases, but not me. People would tell me, “You shouldn’t do this because you have diabetes, you see.” Sometimes I feel like having to take insulin and to test is an obstacle for me, when sometimes I want to do something, but I can’t because of insulin.” (female, 17). The gene discussed is INS; the disease is diabetes mellitus.
