Writer's Block

I started this Blog on a whim, thinking that perhaps I could share some of my experiences as a Type 1 diabetic mother.  I am first and foremost a mom, as well as a wife, sister, daughter, friend, lawyer and we must not forget.... a diabetic.

Diagnosed at age 16, I am thankful that I had a childhood full of adventure, freedom and carefree living.  That's not to say that it ended at age 16, but life certainly changed.

I grew up into a diabetic adult and my children think that diabetes is normal and that every mom has it.   When asked, they tell everyone that my pancreas is broken, which is true.  I like to think it is just on strike and one day when it gets what it has been holding out for it will start working again.... wishful thinking?!?

My kids help me test my blood sugar, they share their apple juice when I am low and they  give me tons of love when I need it.

Welcome to my blog.  Stay tuned for an exciting ride....
