    I think they turned it everyday into a positive way . Why aren’t they allowed to show others what goes on into a human with this ilness ? I think this vid shows only a part of the live of an child with diabetes .

    Matisbat,

    Don’t consider it unlucky.

    Turn it into a positive, and in an odd way, diabetes will better your life.

    I cried when I watched this clip. My 3 year old boy was diagnosed when he was only 18 months old. All kids with diabetes are brave and we hope that there will one day be a cure.

    Bless you and your family Blake! My daughter is now 14 and has been living with Type 1 for over 4 years. She is on a pump and continues to hope for a cure. She has just posted her new video “Let Your Voice Be Heard”. Hopefully with all the stories being posted on here, people will realize how many families are battling this disease. Our family holds out hope for a cure for our family and all the other families like us!

    Very moving. The music is very appropriate! My daughter was diagnosed in Feb this year and is 13. It sure changed our lives although it isn’t the first special needs situation we have faced with our children. Somehow we get through because we have to. This video says it all. Thank you for sharing your life with us.

    It sums up exactly what they go through every day, and the fears we have as parents for our children. My little boy has had diabetes for almost a year, he is not yet 3, and I am hoping for a cure before it does irrevocable damage to his body!!

    this is the 4th video I’ve watched and everyone has made me cry and cry. My son has had type 1 since he was 18 months old, he is now 7 and doing well. It’s so sad to see kids being so brave as they endure finger and insulin needles multiple times a day. Bless their little souls…
    Its so sad…
    By the way, my whole familiy are active members with JDRF, and work hard to raise money to find a cure!

    This video was amazing, I’m sitting here crying.

    I have been a type 1 diabetic since 10 days before my 16th birthday, exactly two months ago tomorrow. I pray every night for a cure for this terrible disease, so kids like Blake and me can live carefree for a long, long time. <3
