Juvenile Diabetes- My Nephew’s Story

Next week, I’m going to share my story with Juvenile Diabetes. It’s extremely difficult and emotional to discuss, so I am praying for wisdom and careful guidance for my words. Just thinking about it makes my heart race and brings tears to my eyes. I can say, writing about it is not easy.

In the next few days, I’ll write about my family experience when my nephew, my sisters son, was diagnosed with Type 1 Juvenile Diabetes. He was a two-year-old toddler when the illness found him.

In writing the articles, I will not use his real name to protect his privacy. The story will include:

• Early symptoms of Juvenile Type 1 Diabetes
• The first two weeks
• Educating the family
• Preparing for school
• Living with juvenile diabetes

I’ll link these articles to helpful sites, such as Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. My information is second-hand knowledge based upon my own observations of my nephew, my sister would never find time to write a blog. I’m writing about my observations and the seen effects of a child living with Type 1 Juvenile Diabetes.

I’ve had a difficult time designing an Awareness Bracelet for Juvenile Diabetes and hopefully the blog story will inspire my design. I’m creating something to reflect a painful journey and it needs to be absolutely perfect in my eyes. I’m not there yet…its very personal.
