My son, Tyler was diagnosed with type I diabetes at age 8. As a paramedic, I thought I knew how to handle this disease. I was so wrong! The training provided by my son's endocrinology team was phenomenal!
Tyler is now 12 years old. While we still have ups and downs, I am amazed every day at how he handles his disease. I have taught him from day one, he is NOT a diabetic, he HAS diabetes. This reminds him that he controls this disease, it does not control him.
