A mom shares the struggles and successes of raising a toddler with type-1 diabetes.

"A whole crew of people came in and immediately started trying to get an IV into her. They
wanted to give her a shot, were checking her blood sugars and in that moment I just said –
STOP! – what’s happening, somebody needs to talk to me because 30 minutes ago I was in her
nursery and now I’m in the emergency room holding her down as you try to stick needles into
her body. Tell me what’s happening. Does she have diabetes?"
