Today I am writing in support of #IWishPeopleKnewThatDiabetes

#IWishPeopleKnewThatDiabetes is a never-ending, every day battle.

#IWishPeopleKnewThatDiabetes requires my daughter to poke her finger 5-8 times a day to check her blood glucose levels.

#IWishPeopleKnewThatDiabetes requires my daughter to inject a new site (with a big needle) every three days.

#IWishPeopleKnewThatDiabetes (Type 1)  can’t be fixed with diet and exercise but as for anyone it’s an important part of taking care of yourself.

#IWishPeopleKnewThatDiabetes allows my daughter can eat cake if she wants.

#IWishPeopleKnewThatDiabetes is harder than it looks.

#IWishPeopleKnewThatDiabetes has shown me how brave and amazing my daughter can be.
