Join Me to Find a Cure for Type 1 Diabetes
Kate was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes at age 9. After two years of living with this disease, Kate is still the joyous child she always has been, but now she has to remember to check her blood sugar 6 or more times a day, give herself insulin whenever she eats, carry her testing kit everywhere she goes, know her body and how she feels so can tell if her blood sugar drops too low. These are just some of the responsibilities that I wish my 11 year old did not have to worry about now or ever. As a parent, we have to remind her to test, to think about what she is eating, tell her that she really doesn't need that extra piece of pizza or cupcake with her friends. We also have to worry each night the maybe she will drop so low that she won't wake up or that her sugar will spike way too high. Please help JDRF keep searching for a cure to help those who have Type 1. I know there are hundreds of diseases and causes that are worthy. I want to give to each and every one. Please consider a donation. Every little bit can make a difference.
