You might be a D parent if...

You hear a Lowe's employee talking to what looks like a supervisor and they say "keep an eye on Billy. He's had 2 cartons of orange juice already" and you and your husband look at each other and question if they're talking about a diabetic.

This is a pic of my wonderful D warrior about 2 months before his diagnosis in 2013. Since then he's had approximately 8000 shots and 17,000 blood sugar checks. 

Yesterday we started his insulin pump. While the idiots at UVA Pediatric Endocrinology are a giant thorn in my side, I know this is the best thing for him.. He hasn't been over 200 in 24 hours and has acted like the sweetest kid (see my irony there?)
