Poem about test strips...

Oh test strip... We know you hate to be thrown out, but you must!

you are such a little thing that is so small but says so much... but still after you are used, you must be thrown away.

You sometimes remind me of clowns fitting into a clown car when we empty the diabetic kit at the end of the day (or week) Seeing just how many of you can jam yourself into the bottom of the case to hide... until you are found and discarded.

Oh test strip.. how much fun you can be when it was figured out that when seperated after use, you are like stickers and can be stuck.. well.. anywhere.. and everywhere. (especially by little sisters)

Test strip... as excited as we are to find a few more in a bottle when we need to test and thought we were out... we are not as excited to find you used and in our beds at night... on the floor... and stuck to our bodies ;P

Little test strip, some day, we will make biohazardous art with you, but for today.. could you find your way to the garbage can... please!

In the hospital...

Right before I got diabetes my dad and my sister got me a rainbow bear and it was green, purple, yellow and blue.

Last week, I had ketones and I was sick, it was really a big thing to handle because it was a long time and the IV hurt and at the end I was happy to go home.

Land of hope

I hope there is a cure for type 1 even though there is a way to get better with type 2. And I don't like diabetes but is it good for you .. because you learn how to take care of yourself, and I like learning about diabetes because it can be really cool.

That is all - bye.

The city of joy

So when you have diabetes it is really hard, like you don't want it.. so....like, about diabetes when you have it... it is kind of scary but I like it, not a lot though. Sometime when you bolus and dial you go to high or low and that can be kind of hard... but you can fix it. But it is pretty easy. You should try the pod, it is good. I wish I did not have to use anything, but if you do it is pretty good and I am still happy about it. that is all.

I want to put a picture here too.

Welcome to my world

My name is Jared and I am now 6 years old and I was diagnosed with Diabetes just over one year ago (when I was 4 years old). So now I want to tell you about myself: I am a boy, I like to read and I like to draw. Now I want to say to you I am going into first grade. This is one of my pictures.
