Will's Story....
At first I felt kind of let down. I thought that I would never be normal again if you can call it being normal. I though that I wouldn't be able to do a lot of things a normal kid could do, but then the doctors told me that everything would be normal again and nothing had to change. Being insulin dependent doesn't stop you from doing anything. Through the years of being diabetic, I have had my family and friends by my side to reassure me that nothing had to change. I have learned a lot about myself. When I started taking insulin I became happier. And I wonder if my moodiness was because of high sugar and I wonder how long I actually had high sugar. So if you are not feeling just right, go check your sugar.
Jennifer's (mom's) Story....
We received the official confirmation that Will had T1 on January 10, 2019. He was 15 years old. He is now 18 years old and a senior at BCHS. It was scary for us. We knew a lot about it as several people in our family have either T1 or T2. There was still so much to learn.
I could barely go to the store without having a break down when looking at the food I would normally buy. We try to eat healthier. Carb counting has gotten easier. I still hate that this is something he will have to live with for the rest of his life. I worry about insurance for him as he gets older.
