From the Beginning…

“10 days after Williams 3rd birthday we found ourselves on the way to the ER, with an impending diagnosis of type 1 diabetes. Over the past week, we noticed he was drinking excessive amounts of water, urinating frequently and even having accidents in unlikely places. We decided to check his blood sugar and upon wakening it was 172. We headed to the ER and by that point his blood sugar was in the 400’s. William was brave through all the pokes and prods. We stayed in the hospital for 4 days and came home with a continuous glucose monitor (CGM), which gives us great relief to be able to monitor his blood sugars continuously, but there are still numerous challenges we, and William, face every day since his diagnosis.” -William’s Parents
