Jake and I are headed to Children’s Hospital for his every 3 months diabetes appointment. This of course reminds me that I totally forgot World Diabetes Day on November 14th. Type 1 diabetes is a totally different animal than Type 2. This article explains the difference: Hey,Media! Yes, he can eat sugar and yes, he takes shots. No, there is not cure for Type 1 diabetes no matter how many articles you read that say there is. It is an auto-immune disease. Great explanation in the above article.
Here is my darling Jake shortly after his diagnosis with diabetes. He is a trooper and my hero checking his blood sugar levels 6-8 times a day and taking a minimum of 4 injections daily!
We are off to fight traffic to make his 8:15 appointment. Tomorrow I will explain the picture below. Happy Monday!
