Diabetes Daily Dose: Stories from Fans

Today's Diabetes Daily Dose I wanted to share a couple of short stories from my fans.

Sabrina S. Story:

I have a six year old niece who has lived with diabetes since she was three. It has been three long and hard years. But that little girl is still full of life. She hasn't let this stop her. She is my hero for if this tiny baby can go through so much, I feel as if i can do anything. My family and I have had a hard three years. But her smile makes it worth the fight. Diabetes has not slowed her down. She is a wonderful and bright child and with live her life to the fullest. 
Thanks for letting me share Sabrina

This story comes from Sue Ann

I have a story of diabetes, however it is not a very happy story.

My brother was diagnosed when he was 4 years old...He passed away when he was 20.

He was diagnosed with juvenile diabetes, he was the first person in our state to have laser beam treatment to his eyes. He was legally blind in the right eye and partially blinded in the left eye. He was waiting for a kidney transplant and family members were being tested, however he developed a bleeding ulcer and was started on dialysis shortly there after. He was admitted to the hospital on December 23 and passed away March 7.

That was 33 years ago and I am so grateful that they have had so much advancement in the treatment of diabetes.

My thoughts, prayers go out to you and your daughter. Keep up the good work.

Thank you for letting me tell my story.

**I want to thank you both for sharing your story with us. Watching someone suffer with Diabetes is the hardest thing. You wish you could take it all away for them, but the only thing you can do is give them all the support and love you can. Have hope that a cure will be found SOON! Stay strong even though you want to cry! Never stop praying!

Thank you again ladies for sharing your stories with everyone.
