Hi, my name is Michelle. My daughter Michelle (Chell) was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes May of 2004.
Recently, I have done a video for Children who's parents insurance companies have denied them the CGM. This upset me very much. So much techology out there yet insurance companies dont help. We were lucky, my daughters insurance company did pick up the CGM for her.
I am very concerned about the other 25,600 children out there. One of our local TV station was running a contest, "PAY IT FORWARD" Even though my video did not win, this was a wonderful oportunity for me to tell about these other children who are in need of the CGM.
My future dreams is to help each one of these children along with many more children who's insurance company deny them.

Chells first day on Insulin pump
Posted on February 28, 2008 at 6:58pm 0 Comments 0 Likes
Chell started pumping today, fully with Insulin, we never did start with saline. We went to McDonalds for lunch after pump training, it was so funny Chell is looking all over in her purse and in my purse for her insulin pen. Told her she does have to have it now, since she has the pump. She forgot already.
What is Chell pumping with: MM 722 purple

Sorry about that low - blech!
Seriously, don't worry about the funding - it will happen. That was my biggest fear but people were so generous.
Another idea is to have the local paper come out and do an interview and put a place at the end of where to send donations. Maybe directly to Pawsibilities or maybe set up an account at the bank just for that - you know, "a fund has been set up at Whatever Bank for donations"
Enjoyed your video!! I was born and raised in Omaha so the last screen made me smile! We're new to diabetes...son diagnosed 12/2007....just love all these sites to gather information from.

I see that you homeschool. I am a teacher. Not currently teaching, but I have my degree and taught one year. I am now working another job and going back to school to get my master's. I think homeschooling can be a wonderful thing. I'm glad that you are able to do that.
They did a pretty good job by me actually.
I think it's great that you adopted when they were older.
I have already decided that I want to adopt my children. For a number of reasons. Number one: to continue the tradition. Number two: I am afraid of passing on diabetes. I think I would feel horribly guilty.
Ironicaly enough, I think I would adopt a diabetic child and never think twice about it. Just because I know how to take care of them.
Anyway, tell your daughter not to worry about having diabetes. It's not the end of the world by any means. Which I am sure you already know, but sometimes it helps to hear it from someone who's lived w/ diabetes for 22 years.
