Type 1 Diabetes Diagnosis - Our Story On How It Started | T1D Journey

[@cagedtigersteve]

As a T1D for 20+ it's a cake walk today. There are still highs and lows, but technology has made this disease no longer a life threatening disability. Probably the worst thing about it is the cost to manage it in the US. But it hasn't changed who I am or what I'm about. My life is still what I want it to be. Finn should be able to live a normal healthy long productive and happy life.

My daughter was diagnosed at age 2 on New Year’s Day 2017 my mom would take care of her when I go to work my mom told me time and time again something was wrong with her she would be hungry every five minutes and she had dark circles under her eyes one day I was talking to my friend about it she told me to get her checked because it wasn’t normal so I decided to take her to the hospital as soon as I got out of work her sugar was in 488 when I found out I was so emotional my head was all over the place I didn’t know what to do I was so scared but with my husband by my side we got through it

Yes same with Finn. He had dark circles under his eyes when i picked him up from his Mimi’s house. He looked so sick but kept saying he felt fine. I was sooo emotional 😭. I was a wreck for days. I would go into the bathroom during the hospital stay and cry.
