as a T1D x 4 family
as a T1D x 4 family
100% of our family is powered by insulin and juice boxes. I was diagnosed with T1D as an 8 year old in Pakistan while my husband was diagnosed at around the same age growing up in Pennsylvania. The two of us met through our matching insulin pumps while I was serving in the Peace Corps in the Eastern Caribbean. Our older daughter was diagnosed when she was 10 months old and our younger daughter was diagnosed when she was 3 years old. We also have a Diabetic Alert Dog named Sherlock because we needed something cute and fluffy to point to on our really hard diabetes days.
