Happy Sunday fun-day!
For the 98% of you who aren't my close family and friends, I thought it'd be a good idea to tell you a little bit about me - other than my diabetes since I'm quite enjoying this whole blogging thing.
So what do you need to know?

Hi Amber
ReplyDeleteJames here, #TeamGKB on Instagram. Great post. I became a Type 1 Diabetic on Dec 5th 1995, my Daughter she became a Type 1 Diabetic as well when she was 5 years old, shes 11 now.
Myself I still haven't got over both events. I just wanted to write you a comment, and let you know what you are feeling and going through with the Diabetes, it's something we all do, even now. So your not alone in your thoughts.
Good Luck in the Job Interviews coming up and don't lose focus on your journey towards becoming a Paediatric Diabetes Nurse.
James
Hiya James,
DeleteOh bless you and your daughter, diabetes sucks for everyone doesn't it. Sadly, it's a given that we all have good days and bad days, but what a hell of a journey. Thanks for the good luck wishes and keep reading my blog. Hope you're well.
