You CAN Do This.
I have had a lot of moments in the last 24 years with type 1 diabetes where I wasn't sure if I could do this. But I did. And I can. And I'm still going.
You can do this.
I've had the honor of being part of a project put together by Kim Vlasnik over at Texting My Pancreas, where some member of the Diabetes Online Community have contributed their perspectives to a "You Can Do This" movement. It's about support. Empowerment. The reality of life with diabetes, and how a little love can go a very long way.
Watch this video and visit Kim's blog for details, and please consider adding your voice to this project. It's a great way to show one another that we aren't alone, and that yes, we CAN do this.

Thanks for sharing this! So glad I'll be back in AK by then so Bean and I can help out, too! After seeing some of your vlogs on youtube, she's been wanting to make her own video. Can't think of a better way to start!!

No my dear, you are not alone!
Diabetes is a metabolic disease that occurs when the body does not produce insulin or fails to properly use this hormone.
Many people have this problem!!!
