Living With Diabetes

On February 27, 2010, my wife and I found out that our 2 year old son has Type 1 Diabetes.  It was heartbreaking, but at the same time there was a sense of relief as we finally discovered the reason for the symptoms he was displaying. 

Over the last year and a half we have learned how to live with Type 1 Diabetes although it wasn't easy.  It took some time to figure things out and be confident that we were counting carbs and measuring insulin correctly.  We also learned some tips along the way. 

It seems like it's been much longer than 18 months that we have been living with diabetes.  It's hard to think back and remember life before we always had carb counting on our mind. Fortunately, we have a very resilient little boy who has taken to the new lifestyle well.

Now, we just have to hope for a cure and more medical breakthroughs.

New Blog

Well at the inspiration of JDaddy I have decided to start my own blog.  Right now, this blog won't cover any specific topic.  But it is called Baseball and Benefits because of my love of baseball and my job as a benefits broker.  I'm also passionate about a cure for Type 1 Diabetes, as I have a 3-year old son with the disease.

So check back frequently as I'll update with some links to other items I find interesting.
