I've always protected her and for the first time it was me who was vulnerable. <BR/><BR/>Of course she still thinks the doctor's have made a terrible mistake and that I just have a tape worm they haven't found yet - but that's a story for another time.<BR/><BR/>But in short - Wingmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00867789638868481704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1908563815586378256.post-10445041668035140232007-11-15T00:49:00.000-05:002007-11-15T00:49:00.000-05:00Jillian, Thanks for posting the email from your si...Jillian, <BR/>Thanks for posting the email from your sister.<BR/><BR/>To Jillian's Sister: thank you for sharing your memories of JillyBean's diagnosis. My sister got diabetes first (she was 8, as was I) and I got it 3 years later (I was 11, almost 12) and I think I was probably jealous at first, too. I guess I got your "wish" of having diabetes, though trust me, I wish I never did.

He was four years old when I was diagnosed. As far as he knows, this is how I've always been.Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09845901120926051578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1908563815586378256.post-88877681588229807132007-11-14T17:55:00.000-05:002007-11-14T17:55:00.000-05:00You know, it can be easy for a diabetic to forget ...You know, it can be easy for a diabetic to forget that it effects the family members also.

My older son was 11 when Riley was diagnosed with diabetes.
