Doris D said… - Glad to do it!!! We all need someone at these times. Me? I've been a Type 1 since I was 10 years old and now I'm 47. YOU CAN DO THIS! My husband married me knowing I was a Type 1 and now we have a Type 1 daughter who is the mom to all 3 kids you see in my pics. Those are my grandkids! The baby will turn 5 months old on the 19th!
