I read your post and just relived June of this year. Your post is so similar to our story. My 12yr. old son was diagnosed this summer. We were so blown away, I still cannot deal with this. How could this have happened? Why is it happening to him?? And now I worry and wait will my little girl also get it?? Our only hope is to pray for the cure for these children..All around everyone either knows someone or their child has it. What is going on?????? Thank you for spreading the word.
Sincerely,
Teresa

Thanks for the explanation, Michele. I had no idea diabetes could be so serious! I probably would not think anything of my daughters losing weight (they are naturally thin anyway) or drinking lots of water. I’m glad to know what the warning signs are!

Michele,

I have a friend who has a daughter with type 1, she is eight, they have been dealing with this for a few years, and she has an insulin pump. My friend could have written your narrative word for word about finding out her dd had diabetes. I told her about your situation, she said if you want to talk, she has been at this for a few years now, and would be very happy to talk with you!!

God Bless you…..having special need kiddos is so challenging, ( I have a few as well) but thank God we live in the time we do, and thank God for our Faith!!!!
