Blogger Basal For A New Year

Once a year all eyes are fixated on the clock as the countdown begins. 5...4...3...2...1

HAPPY NEW YEARS

Every new year comes with new promises, wishes and hope.  Hope that all the promises that we have made to ourselves will be followed through, making this new year better then the last. Resolutions & Hope goes hand in hand  for The Sugar Kids Blog.  

With one year at a close and another just beginning we can not help but think about the past. The places we have been, the people we have met and the people that we wish were still here with us.  If only we could  Make A Wish and have those people back with us. But every D-Mom Blog knows even if your most precious wishes don`t come true hold on to what is most important and frame it. 

We all have hopes and dreams for different things in the coming new year but I'm sure that the hope for a magic potion that could cure diabetes would be on many peoples 2011 wish lists.  I know that their is one special little guy who wishes will all of his might that a magic potion will be found to change Our Diabetic LifeFinding My Way As The Unicorns Flee may be hard, but if we take it one step at a time we all will find our way in 2011.

With the many wishes and dreams that the new year provides there is one universal dream that we all hope 2011 with bring and that is The Good Life.  For many people the path to get you there is different.  Some people seek fame and fortunes but if your Sweet To The Soul a positive attitude and a smile on your face will ensure your on the right path to the Good Life in 2011.

And of course we all know, Life is Like a Box of Chocolate and you really never know what we are going to get... especially with T1.  Some days will not go our way and during these times if we take a step off our new positive path for 2011, For This, I`ll Make An Exception because we all need days when we can say Diabetes Sucks!

But with all the hard work and the countless hardships what makes it worth every second are the good days.  While I Am You Pancreas there will be days filled with golden magical moments, days like this 365:176 7.4. 
...Picture perfect.

and just like Justice's Misbehaving Pancreas, This Is Type 1 it is totally and completely unpredictable, exhausting and frustrating.  The good and the bad, the lows and the highs, the misconceptions and dealing with this disease  24 7 365.

The Super Hero and The Princess that live with type 1 diabetes 24 7,  are learning each and everyday.  They soon have a lot more knowledge about this disease then we or anyone else could ever believe possible.  Each day is a day to learn.  Sometimes Doctors or other professionals over look the knowledge of parents and T1 children but The Problem Is ``They`` Don`t Know What They Know and What They Don`t Know.

One of the ways we gain so much information is through trial and error, most times this can be very scary when dealing with a disease like type 1 diabetes.  Through sharing our experiences and knowledge with each other we become stronger.  So when you read about The Super Bolus to solve the post breakfast spike from Candy Hearts or Mrs Harer`s Hollow asking questions like What Immunity while sharing her experiences with frequent infections our understanding of this disease grows.

Knowledge is power for The Princess and The Pump so Dear GMA: I Want You To Know our lives with T1 so you can try to understand and help spread type 1 diabetes awareness.  

Help us end the misconceptions,  because Houston...We Have A PROBLEM    Help ME change the face of type 1 diabetes.


AND there you have it,  your Blogger Basal for the new year if you would like to get involved for February you can send a link of your February post to  Our Diabetic Life
