My daughter was diagnosed a few months ago at 14 mos. of age, and we are in the process of trying to get her to be able to try the pump or CGM. It's a long process! <br /><br />I would just add that people really should not share their A1c. It's great that your kid has never been over a 7, but some of us have not been blessed, especially with toddlers. One sick week or one antibiotic and the number completely off. Sharing this information comes across as one parent is taking care of their child better than another which is usually not even close to the truth!<br /><br />I pray that we find the cure very, very soon!Saadia Ahmedhttp://www.facebook.com/saadia.ahmednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3255735347955921173.post-57587043594836461852012-05-31T12:50:55.985-04:002012-05-31T12:50:55.985-04:00Oh YEAH BABY!!!

For me it is interesting seeing the battle with D from a parent point of view, instead of my own point of view! I realise how much stress my parents would have been under, and how it would have affected them when I rebelled as a teenager and stopped doing BSL's and injections.

As a teenager I rebelled and stopped doing injections,bsl's and ended up in hospital so many times. While I have been sorry for that for so long, I never really imagined how it affected them. Now I know. Thank You for sharing this, it is interesting seeing a D struggle from a parent point of view instead of my own point of view.

But I will not stop educating and raising awareness until we get a cure for our sweet ones. I'm headed back to DC for annual conference next week to meet with our congressmen again to ask for support of the renewal of the Special Diabetes Program.
