thanks for the welcome. my son was diagnosed a year ago this week. he is 8. our photo to the left is a group running/walking for our local Beat the Bridge in Seattle last spring. He is holding his loved JDRF bear, Rufus the bear with diabetes. It's been a heck of a year but he is doing so good. we are trying to think of that what diabetes means to him for his hand photo on the one touch website. i'd like to submit it on his diagnosis anniv. which is tomorrow!
