On January 19, 2016, our 18 month old son, Trace, was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D).  After weeks of exhibiting extreme thirst, which we attributed to teething, Trace became very lethargic and could barely move or hod his head up to drink from a cup.  After taking him to his pediatrician’s office, we were told to take him to the ER immediately.  Trace had a blood sugar of 1,000 (his normal goal range is 100-200) and he could have lost his life had we waited any longer.  The diagnosis of Type 1 has forever changed our son and our family.  We have committed ourselves to helping other children and families.
