nice story! I am on dlife all the time too. Thanks for the advocacy! I bet it was tough trying to take of you daughter... she was so young at her diagnosis. Your daughter is a year older than my niece, Cat, who was diagnosed when she was around 11. I was dxd at 12 in 1977, before home blood sugar meters and human insulin, and way before analog insulin. My story is in my blog "HI" I wrote when I joined TuDaibetes. Take care Tom!
