Who is Tanja Shatanovska?
My name is Tanja Shatanovska. I am 28 years old and I am from Skopje, Macedonia. I have been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes for 22 years. In fact, the doctors discovered that I have type 1 diabetes on the 16th of October, 1998. At that time, I was only 6 years old.
Some words about Tanja’s blog
In this blog, I share my personal everyday experiences and explain how I manage my diabetes world. My goal is to increase awareness about diabetes. Moreover, I like to help people learn what is diabetes, how it is treated. Likewise, I want to help them recognize when someone’s blood sugar levels has dropped too low or bring high glucose level down. Last, but not least, I want to spread the following message to all people who have diabetes: Life with diabetes is not scary at all. You should be scared of the consequences that may occur if you don’t control it. With a regular control, if you have regular blood glucose control and if you inject your insulin therapy, you will have a healthy and normal life.
