This stuff is hard, but feeling the support of other moms who know exactly what you mean, even when you can't quite explain it- it's amazing. Good for you for getting out here so soon. I wish I had found these moms sooner- it's made SUCH a difference in the way I am handling things. I look forward to getting to know more about you and your family.<br /><br />http://goteamliam.blogspot.comJessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16615384441250315342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9207093518242522262.post-81684799097228145182010-03-09T23:55:53.565-05:002010-03-09T23:55:53.565-05:00I left a comment on your sister's blog the oth...I left a comment on your sister's blog the other day ...

But what the rest of the D-Moms and Parents say: it's manageable. I'm not a dad, but am myself a Type 1 for 26 years since the age of 5. I'm also the only son of a D-Mom, who was herself diagnosed at the same young age. We are both grateful to be part of a huge adult D-Community full of people who've been living great successful lives despite being diagnosed at young ages. With the online support world, it's an incredible tool to help your family and child Live With Diabetes. Good luck! Look forward to reading your posts and keeping in touch.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9207093518242522262.post-64520677937449303342010-03-09T14:42:08.196-05:002010-03-09T14:42:08.196-05:00Hi Shannon!

My six-year-old son, Jack, was diagnosed with T1D two years ago. My blog is: http://jacks-pack.blogspot.com/<br /><br />I'm never happy to hear about another little one, who's been diagnosed with T1D. But since you're here... :) Welcome to the group! This is a fantastic, caring group of wonderful moms. Though I'd thought about blogging since Jack's diagnosis, it took me a full two years before I actually began writing and posting, and I just recently discovered this online group of D Moms. Their understanding and support has been terrific. I'm sure you'll find them to be just as warm, welcoming and supportive.<br /><br />If there's ever anything I can do to help, please don't hesitate to contact me at heidi@jacks-pack.com. After Jack's diagnosis, my husband and I found that it was the other parents of kids with T1D, not our endo or diabetes educator, who helped us the most.<br /><br />All the best to you and your family!Heidi / Jack's Packhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13777565610491587857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9207093518242522262.post-35766958962979634922010-03-08T15:34:44.501-05:002010-03-08T15:34:44.501-05:00The reason I found it so quickly is because a litt...The reason I found it so quickly is because a little birdy told me about it!<br /><br />I'm impressed that you've already posted.

I've posted a link to your blog on mine, so hopefully a whole bunch of other Moms will be leaving you comments soon.<br /><br />If you ever have any questions, or I can help in any way, I gave my contact info to your sister. Please feel free to use it. <br /><br />You have one heck of a story, and I am amazed at everything you have been through. You sound like one tough woman!
