My best girl gets up every morning for school. Just like any other 10 year old.

My best girl gets dress, brushes her teeth, and packs her backpack. Just like most fifth graders.

My best girl then checks her blood sugar and calculates her insulin dose. Just like three million other folks.

Today is World Diabetes Day. Every day is diabetes day at our house, 24/7. My daughter never gets a day off.

Something’s gotta change.
