I'm part of the Diabetic Online Community (DOC), the most wonderful group of people in the world! Yes, I'm biased - and I don't care. If one of us is having blood sugar issues, we rally with love, support, prayers and encouragement. It's what we do. We're like one big family.
Typically diagnosed during childhood and adolescent years, Juvenile Diabetes, also referred to as Type I Diabetes, currently affects more than 3 million Americans and more then 13,000 children are diagnosed each year.

Once in a while I read a post from a mom who is sleep deprived from being up every 2 hours in the night with their Type 1 Diabetic child, dealing with blood sugar issues. Managing the symptoms for Type 1's is simply not good enough! These folks need a cure! I've mentioned this several times on my facebook page - but I'll repeat myself. The parents of Type 1 Diabetic kiddos ROCK!!! They have my unwavering love and respect - and always will.

There's hope on the horizon.
