My 5 year old Diabetic child is a super hero

1 comment:
My 5 year old was diagnosed with type 1 Diabetes just this month and it has been an extreme rollercoaster of emotions for me personally since I also live with type 1 Diabetes.  I have had many moments of tears bursting out of my eyes, to yelling and screaming at no one in my empty house to humbling moments when my little girl puts on an extremely brave face and tries a shot in a completely new area because we need to widen her shot rotation areas and I am crying inside but wearing my brave mom face. 

This is every diabetic person's worst nightmare because we do not wish our disease on anyone and especially not our children.  As a Diabetic I know the battles she will have to face and I know how deadly insulin truly is. My friend, who was a Diabetic Champion and was seriously kicking the disease's butt, lost her life because of a freaking low blood sugar and was home alone at the time.  This was before all of us had Dexcom share available.
