Last night I received an e-mail that none of us want to ever receive. Somebody from my hometown who is friends with a family member e-mailed me that their 11 month old was just diagnosed with diabetes. Whenever I hear this, it breaks my heart, but I know that there are great resources out here for them. Since I was diagnosed at 19 and I don’t have a child with diabetes, I want to make sure that I provide the best possible information for them.
If you could please leave a comment or e-mail me any lists that you may have or contacts for this person, please do so.
I have already provided them information on the Children with Diabetes forums and the DRI’s P.E.P group.
Let’s help show the family of a newly diagnosed child that we are here for them.
