When and why did you start caring about diabetes?
Hey everyone,
I'm just curious as to how all of you first got involved with diabetes and TuDiabetes for that matter. As someone without diabetes, it takes a level of intentionality to put ourselves in a place where we are regularly exposed to the world of diabetes. I would like to know why you choose to be here.

My daughter was diagnosed at 8 years old and is now 10 almost 11. She took 4 shots a day for the first 6 months and sometimes additional shots if she wanted something extra. Then after 6 months we started the process to get her on the pump, since she has been on the pump it has been a lot more freeing for her. Of course she still has her lows and highs, but she is much more control of it. Sometimes I get really emotional about the whole thing cuz when it comes to your kids you just want them to be healthy. If I could take this disease from her and take it on myself I totally would, just so she could be completely free. I found this website very recently and I am so glad I did. I feel like I have found other people that can relate to what I go through as a parent and I can vent and even get feedback that is very helpful. I'm considering letting my daughter have a page on this website too, but at the moment, still thinking about it.
