Life with Diabetes, for an 8 year old

Many people ask us what it is like for our daughter Destin to have diabetes. Our goal as her parents is to make her life as "normal" as possible and not let diabetes limit her ability to just be a kid.

While we believe we have made great strides with this, what people don't see is what goes on "behind the scenes" everyday that allows her to do this.

Attached is a typical day of what it is like for Destin in her life with diabetes.

Her strong will and determination to not let this slow her down makes me incredibly proud of her and humbled at the same time.

Please read the attachment, it is a powerful illustration of what a typical day is for her.

If after reading this, you'd like to help make her dream come true of finding a cure, please follow the link and donate to her team in our walk for a cure on February 27th.
