One day you walked in on him holding his teddy giving him a fake shot and telling the teddy "I love you this will make you all better." He knows you love him soo much and he is a great kid.

I was diagnosed at three. I do not know what is is like to live without diabetes! When I was younger I was always scared that I would face complications because of my early diagnosis. In recent years, however, I have learned that is actually a blessing in disguise. I don't know life without diabetes. I never really went through a "rebellion" phase like a lot of my other friends who were diagnosed later. I didn't have to transition. To me, checking blood sugars and taking insulin and keeping track of my food is second nature!Colleenhttp://www.addictedtoinsulin.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248101319829846491.post-63846131771449250722009-11-21T16:34:34.192-08:002009-11-21T16:34:34.192-08:00Me too!

I will never forget that sound of Lainey's breathing.<br />One thing I'm grateful for is that Lainey, and J, will never remember life before diabetes. Counting carbs, finger pricks, and shots is their norm. They don't know anything different. I think that's why it was easier for them to adjust.Megannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16443464897611746774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248101319829846491.post-54936956769711207582009-11-21T12:22:36.422-08:002009-11-21T12:22:36.422-08:00Yeah, totally in tears.
