Dawn Higley, Registered Nurse, Certified Diabetes Educator and mother of two children with Type 1 Diabetes. Sometimes it’s hard, Sometimes it’s a joy. It’s hard to let them “grow up” and take care of diabetes on their own, but I think every mom has that angst as your children grow up and give them more responsibility because you know they can do it. You go through a lot of emotions as a parent. Is it my fault? Did I do something wrong? These aren’t important things to focus on. Learn what you need to learn, and learn it quickly. I would encourage people to go to www.diabetes.org Until we have a cure, I see the American Diabetes Association as being there to take care of people with diabetes until then. There are so many resources out there. You shouldn’t feel hopeless or alone because there are many people that are on your side wanting to help you. http

Our son, Deacan was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes at the age of 9 months. This is his story.

Eileen Deleeuw, RD, CDE & 45 Years with Type 1 Diabetes: “It’s a privilege to still be alive, even though I was told I wouldn’t be, because we understand so much more. “And we’re learning more about it, so I think the idea that we have to totally conquer our diabetes and do everything right at once is an insult to anyone’s integrity. You do it one step at a time.” Her family “is more centered on diabetes, but not focused on it.” “The most important thing to remember about diabetes is that you can do it your own way. Diabetes has a little bit of forgiveness. You can make a mistake and not die from it. If you can learn from it you will do well.” See more diabetes stories at health.utah.gov For info about diabetes, visit www.diabetes.org
