Thanks for your question, Tina.
In my life, my mom has been the most encouraging person. When something goes wrong, she knows how to handle it. She is always telling me that she wishes she could take the finger pokes for me. I find this so unnecessarily compassionate and I really appreciate all of the things that she does to make it easier for me to live with diabetes!
I think that all parents of diabetics are the ultimate advocates. They are on the front lines of wanting to know as much information about this disease as possible. They are always wanting the best for their children, and I have spoken to many parents that find it hard to watch their child give him/herself a shot or not eat cake on their birthday. I think that parents have to have a lot of strength to raise a diabetic child, and I know that I am very thankful for all of the work my parents have put in to trying to find a cure.
