I was in our pediatrician's waiting room yesterday with my boys, Will fell off the playground at school and landed on his wrist, and there was a tv or radio on featuring health stories. Will was sitting on my lap and perked up when he heard the word Diabetes on the program. "Hey Mom, you have Diabetes," he said. I nodded and smiled and tried to distract him with a book.

I like setting the example of being a career- hard working mom with young ones that CAN take control of diabetes and lead an "almost" normal life as possible. I have lost 14 lbs this year on Nutrisystem and am 4 pounds from my goal. Dieting and Diabetes can be tough but it is possible! Now I need to get my A1Cs down a bit.
