Today is Diabetes Alert Day. Encourage family members, co-workers and friends to take the test to evaluate their risk factors for T2 Diabetes. Thirty-three years ago my brother (then four years old) was sick. He was thirsty and lethargic. My mother had to lift him out of the car, to bring him into the house. Luckily a colleague of my mother's had the foresight to test his urine for blood sugar. That was the beginning of my
brother's journey with T1. A journey our entire family has shared for 33 years.
