Who are your diabetic hero's? I have many!
The first one is all of the parents who get up in the middle of the night to check their child's bg! I do not know how they do it! I am awed by the strength that they have, the commitment and dedication to help their children stay on top of this disease! Hats off to each of you!
The second one is my friend Kim McClure. She is a Certified Diabetic Educator here in SLC. Kim changed by opinion of the health profession! She taught me how to live with this disease by example. Kim has been diabetic for over 30 years and is the most amazing lady I have ever had the privilege to meet. She is caring, compassionate, dedicated, loyal, a fighter, and she has the most amazing sense of humor! Kim has laughed with me, cried with me, and walked me through each and every day of this journey! Kim has been my counselor, my confident, my coach, my adviser, my friend, and my hero! Kim has taught me how to laugh at this disease, she has given me courage and hope to face another day!
My third hero(s) are my dogs Bravo and Radar. Bravo is the most incredible dog I have ever owned! I still get teary eyes and goosebumps when I think of all this dog does! This past weekend he alerted over 80 times in just over 2 days on 4 different diabetics. That is not an exaggeration and it was witnessed by many! He didn't miss and he was never wrong! He blows my mind with his abilities! I am so blessed to have him and Radar in my life!
Who are your heros and why??? We all need those people that make us get up and face another day!
