It's so great you're part of this large Diabetes Online Community and reaching out to share your family's valuable new-diagnosis insights. I've been Type 1 for 26 years (since the age 5), and am always eager to read different perspectives that I'm not as familiar with and don't have as much exposure to! So I'll look forward to reading your perspectives.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196589009348249914.post-37739675978063417602010-05-01T09:17:04.984-07:002010-05-01T09:17:04.984-07:00Welcome aboard the D Train.

I've just recently discovered a virtual flock of blogging D moms out there, so there's lots of support. And, hay, blogging is way cheaper than therapy :) Hang in there.

We all feel the same way.<br /><br />My gal was 6 when she was diagnosed in January 2009. She is 7 1/2 now. Yep, steep learning curve. Is your head swimming from it all? It gets better - the learning, the adapting. It's a new normal.<br /><br />These gals are among the greatest you will meet in D-Mom blogging land. Glad you joined us.<br /><br />Take care, be well, share your story and again, welcome.<br />Penny<br />asweetgrace.blogspot.comPennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11137611120689810820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196589009348249914.post-78076934859512865562010-03-20T03:46:01.034-07:002010-03-20T03:46:01.034-07:00Hi April Ann! and WELCOME.

I remember recovering children in DKA...funny thing is, I too was in denial about my son, Joe...he was eating all the time, drinking ALL the time..and had extremely heavy diapers the week prior to diagnosis...Joe was diagnosed 3 and 1/2 years ago when he was 3 years old. It has been like roller blading on a mountain ridge...we fall...we get up, dust ourselves off...and start skating again. It is a wild ride and I am glad to be on it with you and all these amazing families.<br /><br />My name is Reyna. I live in Vermont. I am at betabuddies.blogspot.com<br /><br />I hope you have a great weekend!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00895126112651188056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196589009348249914.post-45846531822918124872010-03-19T22:22:23.503-07:002010-03-19T22:22:23.503-07:00Words fail me at the moment.

A few hours before my daughter's diagnosis last year someone told me, "She has the symptoms of diabetes," and I thought, "Well yeah, but obviously that's not it..."

Those 6 years will be close to my heart forever.<br /><br />I was also a certified doula through DONA. I say "was" because diabetes came along...and finding on call childcare for my young child who required finger pokes, carb counting, and insulin shots was impossible.<br /><br />She was dx in 2005 - it'll be 5 years this July. She was 24 months then...and she's almost 7 now.<br /><br />I miss it. But I still get my fix whenever I can with friends who will let me in :) <br /><br />Your post is beautiful.
