My five year old grandson is getting his insulin pump on Monday, he's about 13 months out from his Type 1 diagnosis. I'm hoping so much that this makes life easier for him and also his parents, it's been a rough year. Starting on a pump however, is like a brand new diagnosis, for the first two weeks they are to make this their main focus as a family.
Two more families in my area had children diagnosed this week. I truly had no idea how often this strikes children until I experienced it in my own family.
Hopefully brighter days ahead.
