A day in the life of 3 siblings with diabetes.

Aww, this is very touching! As a parent of also a juvenile diabetic, I relate to this video. My daughter was 11 when she was diagnosed. She is now 13 1/2 years old and is also dealing with this disease. Lets pray that a cure for this is soon!!

Look, I understand your concern as parents of diabetic kids. I have had Diabetes since I was 10. I actually was diagnose on my 10th birthday. I'll turn 17 on monday. That's 7 years of having to learn to live with it. And the best tip I can give to you, from the bottom of my heart, is to make your kids feel comfortable with it and not feel bad for themselves. Make them know that this is a condition, not a disease. And let them do it, if you calculate for them they'll never be confident enough

Your video is very moving and invites us into your world. So sorry for what you all go through. My son is 17 and got Type 1 at 8 years old. It's a constant worry, he won't test more than twice a day now, can't be bothered, he just wants to forget he has it.

I have 3 children also and the oldest 2 were diagnosed at age 1 and age 6 now age 9 and 7. The third childs test results just came back that he will most likely have it soon as well. He is only 3! God be with all of us!

i have diabetes! diagnosed 2 weeks before my 13th birthday..... havent got a pump so i'm still in 4 injections a day :S

Me I got type 1 diabetes and I've had it for 3 years now on the Insulin pump. The only way to stay alive with diabetes is if u treat it lik ur pet and u will more than stay alive with a awesomely good A1C lik mine which is 6.1 or 6.0 not exactly sure but yea im a beast with living with Diabetes :) YEAH!!

This made me cry as it hit home how difficult it is living with diabetes. I am 35 in a months time and started injecting insulin when I was 9 years old. I still inject 4+ times a day along with blood testing. I have never been offered an insulin pump and get ignored when I ask about it at the doctors or hospital. I find the hardest thing is it's always there and some days I wish I didn't have to think about it, I wish somebody else could take the responsiblity and look after me. Cure I wish!
