After meeting Cathy on here and reading Wendy's "Candy Hearts" blog, I'm really amazed at how much time and effort there is to managing it.

That blows my mind, it is not a expensive test for goodness sakes all you need is some pee and a stick. It is not a test that takes a long process maybe 15 seconds to see if there is sugar in there pee? (I'm really not sure on the time for the test) But give me a break. Something like 40 children a day are diagnosed with Type 1 and still doctors are turning parents away say don't worry it is only a virus or here is some antibiotics. Ridiculous!! I'm sorry to go off topic but it is just so madding that educated people (doctors) just don't get it either!
