Last week (the 14th of November) was World Diabetes Day. That night, I brought my (nearly three-year old) son to visit his doctor for a routine checkup.

We had some questions about his extreme water consumption. He was always thirsty, always wanting more water. They did some tests and the next thing we knew, the tests confirmed that he has type 1 diabetes. Strange timing. But now we’re learning a lot and finding how to manage and cope with it.
