This story is about my son, Matthew. He was diagnosed with Type 1 after becoming deathly ill when he was just 6. I knew nothing about diabetes prior to him becoming sick! When he was life-flighted, his sugar was over 1000!!!! All the endocrinologists that have treated him have said how lucky we are to still have him with us. Yes, it is a horrible thing to have to do everyday, checking blood sugars and administering insulin but he takes it like a man. When I'm feeling down, I think of that time and remember how lucky I am to have him. He's my greatest inspiration!
