First a little bit about us. My name is Russ. I have two daughters Kari and Kristin.
Kari is 10 and Kristin is 8. Kari was diagnosed with Type 1 Juvenile Diabetes May 25 th 2002. She was 8. I am not a doctor, or a healthcare professional. I'm Kari and Kristin's daddy.
I'm writing this from the perspective of a parent. When Kari was diagnosed I jumped on the Internet to find all the information I could about this disease. As you have probably found, there's tons of it. Hypoglycemic, Hyperglycemic, A1C Hemoglobin, all kinds of stuff. But nothing that really tells you "how does this disease affect my child, our family, brothers and sisters, our lives".
In this book I will tell you of the problems and situations that we faced. How we overcame them and how we are dealing with the ones we haven't overcome yet.
