My youngest daughter Jamie was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes 4 years ago. Sorry to say that we just didn't pick up on the symptoms either. And, we knew the symptoms. We felt really stupid. You just don't think your child is diabetic. I thought she had a sinus infection…..wow was I wrong. She was a couple of days from going into a coma. In hindsight we could just kick ourselves.
Great to see your bringing diabetes to the attention of your reader's.
Maybe you could do an article on type 1 and type 2 diabetes to educate your reader's as to the differences and similarities of each type.

My husband's son has diabetes. I don't know what type but he has to give himself shots a couple times a day.

Happy blogoversary!

That might not be a bad idea, kind of like the dad's version of Wii Mommies. Now if we could only get a sponsor and some cool track suits

I agree, I used to have more willpower. Maybe we should start a get fit
dads segment that measures our progress. Call it- Dads Get Fit Tuesdays- or
something

No problem Tom, glad to help. Considering my family history I'm embarrassed I didn't know more myself. It really started when my wife was pregnant, so we foolishly chocked it up to sympathy pains, if you will. You don't think twice about why your constantly in the bathroom when you're drinking a 2 liter of diet coke everyday. If there is any silver lining in my diagnosis it is something that I can correct and control with diet, exercise and medication.

I'm still on a lot of meds, and I don't like that. The only way for me to fix that is to lose weight. My biggest problem is I have little willpower to make any lasting change. And I think by calling myself out publicly is the only way to get there. Good luck to you on your quest. It isn't easy.
