D-Blog Week - We grow up

When I was diagnosed at age 3, I had to test my blood sugar multiple times per day and take insulin to survive. Now 27 years later, I still have to test my blood sugar multiple times per day and take insulin to survive. I will continue to do so until there is a cure. 

I loved Rainbow Brite when I was dx.
