2 T1D A Family Tale

Leo and Kali; two extraordinary siblings living with type one diabetes, both diagnosed at two years of age. This is their tale shared by their mother in honor of all children, teenagers, adults and families around the world living with type one diabetes. What does it actually mean to be living with type one diabetes? Well at the top of the list, there are; insulin injections, blood monitoring 24 hours a day, counting carbs per every meal, quarterly medical follow ups. But once the initial medical shock subsides and you find yourself ticking that list, a whole new path will be revealed. A bumpy path which will challenge your mental and physical balance. Because no matter how hard you have tried to excel, high level of sugar and low level of sugar; the infamous Siamese twins, will be the dominant factor in your daily pursuit for balance and they are tricky. Very tricky. This is by no means merely a story of desperation and broken hearts for the loss of a perfect health, but also a story of small victories - in a diabetic kind of scale. A celebration of life through good and bad. A tale of a challenging journey towards hope and success.
