Getting it Right: Recent Portrayal of T1D in Mass Media

Just came across this great article about Type 1 Diabetics that was published this week.  :-)  Thought I would share.  If you click on the blue links it will take to the YouTube videos so you can actually watch the segments they are talking about and other informative articles.

I knew it was a lot but every day 80 children and adults are diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes and that number is going up at an alarming rate!  We pray every chance we can that there will someday be a cure!  A cure from the endless finger pokes, the carb counting, the insulin figuring, the set changes, middle of the night checks, and on and on, but mostly a cure from the constant worrying a child with diabetes brings to ones life.

We so are thankful for JDRF and their constant work to finding a cure and feel so fortunate and proud that we are able to take part in some of their fundraising activities, knowing every dollar raised is being put to good work!  We are already planning out details for next years JDRF walk!  Can't wait!  ;-)
