What an Experience


In front of Congresswoman Sanchez Office

Can I just say that Call to Congress was the best experience I have had so far associated with my diabetes.  I was telling some of the advocates that until Call to Congress I think I only personally knew about 2 other type 1 diabetics and I was diagnosed in 1999. It was so affirming to see so many type one's with their sugars in controll and even hearing stories of struggle. It just made me feel less alone in this struggle, and it made me want to fight even more to do better with checking my blood sugar when I saw so many young kids and their parents checking so frequently.  I was also nervous about the pump but seeing so many people with it and hearing so many positive testimonials about it I will def. look into it. 
Cant wait to get back to Los Angeles to begin the work we went over on friday!  Excited for the possibilities.  Love my diabetic extended family :)
