Just to introduce myself my name is Tracy from Tulare, CA. A proud wife and mother. My Husband is a Type 1 diabetic ( dx @ 16 months )on the Omnipod since 6/2010 and both of my sons are also type 1. Michael age 8 dx 5/2008 on the Omnipod since 1/2009 and Owen is 6 dx with type 1 and hypothyrodism 7/2008 he is also on the Omnipod since 4/2010. He was also participating in TrailNet prior to dx where he was shown to be positive for the antibodies). I started this group to get to know other families that have multiple members with type 1.

Thank you Terrie8, the resources available are very helpful and it sure helps to talk to other people such as you who know what this is all about. We take it a day at a time and make sure the kids do what they need to to be healthy.

Unbelieveable isn't it? Your Children are dxd. even closer than we were. My Brothers and I were dxd. in a 7 year span. My 1st Cousins 3 Kids were dxd. in a n 8 year span. I Really feel for you. My Mom still mentions the hardship. I'm Happy though that your Children were dxd. in this century with the net, Diabetes Communities, People talking about Diabetes, detailed and how-to books, Diabetes(sadly) being more common and new technologies, trials and research. How are you all dealing?? I wish you all Well.

Great profile photo. :)

All three of our kids are diabetic type 1, and I am type 2. Only my wife is not diabetic. Our 1st was diagnosed in 2005 at age 10, our 2nd was diagnosed in 2008 at age 13, and our 3rd was diagnosed in 2009 at age 8. Add in their grandfather was killed in a car wreck in 2006 and their grandmother died of cancer in 2009. Through it all we trust in God to be our strength.

I have a 7-year-old daughter who was diagnosed 2 and a half years ago and I just found out on Thursday that my 2 1/2 year old son is also a type 1. It's been an overwhelming few days. I've been repeatedly told that there is only a 5% greater chance of siblings being diagnosed, but I find the statistics hard to believe based on all the parents of multiple diabetic children that I have encountered. I'm just here looking for some extra support to know I'm not alone in this crazy battle!

Thanks. :) I've been stopping by this site more often, now that I only have just one class to worry about at school.

Hello your family is the exact type of family I was looking for to be in this group. Welcome...
Comment by Cara on January 4, 2010 at 9:42pm
Hey, my name's Cara, and I'm not exactly sure if I am supposed to be in this group, but I'll try anyway. :) I'm type 1, dxd at age 8, and my dad is type 1 as well, dxd at age 21 I think. Both my cousins are type 1s as well, and they were both dxed recently. They are in their mid 20s (I'm 27, almost 28). That's all the type 1 that I'm aware of, thank goodness. I have a niece that was born 3 months ago, and I really REALLY hope that she never gets it.
