My son, Justin, nine years old and in third grade told me he had to get up many time in the night to go pee. I thought he had a urinery infection, as I knew nothing about Type 1 diabetes. I scheduled him an appointment with the doctor later that week, but then received a call from his school nurse telling me that he was showing symptoms of Type 1 diabetes. Thank God for her call. I got him right into the doctor and his blood sugar was over 900. Next day we were at the wonderful Barbara Davis Clinic in Denver, CO learning all about diabetes and how to care for our little boy. Justin is now 18 and I am so thankful he is still with us... He truly is my hero!
