I wanted to share...
In honor of my daughter and Diabetes Awareness Month, I wanted to post something in my blog and I wanted to share...
http://amy-journeyinlife.blogspot.com/2010/10/my-reality.html
I hope it is read with understanding... This was the hardest thing I have ever written in my life.
People with Type 1 Diabetes are more then regular people...
...they are extra-ordinary individuals that do extra-ordinary things...
...every minute of every hour of every day of their lives...

Beautiful blog. Thanks for sharing it & give Payton a hug. She is smart & special with a strong spirit. Know how hard T1 is for me as an adult. I can't even begin to fathom this as a child or as the mother of a T1 child.

Excellent post and very well explained. My niece was diagnosed at 8. She is older now and doing well. The adult Type 1s on this board give me great hope, even if a cure is not found within the next ten years. I think you can see from the adult posts that managing Type 1 as an adult appears to be easier and more predictable once the growth hormones are not coming out sporadically and in full force. You are both doing an amazing job and your daughter does have the most beautiful eyes.

Beautifully, beautifully written. THANK YOU for sharing. Have hope that your daughter will live a long, wonderful, happy life! Today is truly better than ever before to be diagnosed and have type 1. And if it helps, I was diagnosed at the age of 3, WAY back in 1981...before we had home meters! Almost 30 years later, I am the mom of 3 children, including a set of twins, under the age of 2 1/2 and I'm doing great! :-) Anything is possible! I give lots of credit and compassion to parents of kids with type 1. I can only imagine how hard it is. Hang in there and again, thank you for writing such a beautiful, well written article. I hope you will try to share your blog post/article with magazines, newspapers, and websites...BIG hugs to you and your daughter.

Alf7199,
Diabetes is indeed a blessing, not a curse. People with this disease have to learn a new life. I would never have achieved all that I have any other way. I have been world famous in the world of particle physics and so may other smaller things. All I know, if I was not type 1 I would never have tried so hard, even if I had to decline donuts day. ha ha!!
