“You learn as you go. You know, she has her up and downs on days. She has her good days. She’s been having lows everyday for the past week. No explanation of why. Because the day before she was going low, she was really high. But you just learn as you go and you just take it all in as you go. Everybody’s different. And now that’s she’s growing up, her hormones and puberty are going to come in and everything, and that’s a whole other story.”
"Your graduation is a moment for our family to cherish and celebrate. Your mother is filled with pride and joy as we witness your achievements. Remember that you are loved beyond measure, and your mother will always be here to support and guide you."

"Everybody is different and it’s not going to be 100% everyday. Expecting your child to be a certain number everyday, all day, everyday, when it’s not going to be you get stressed out. There is variation."

Awareness
"It’s not the end of the world. I guess that’s kind of how I felt. Like, things are going to suck. It’s the end of the world, but it’s not. Kids with diabetes can still live a pretty normal life. Immanuel still plays sports. They can still do stuff like that."
- Mother
Hope
"For the whole first year I felt very inadequate, like “Why am I finding it this hard when everyone else can just do it?” And then you come to find out that people just are afraid to say how hard it is. They’re ashamed and so they deal with a lot of the fear, anxiety, or sadness by themselves. So I also wish for people to be easy on themselves, and to understand that the learning curve is steep, but once you get it, it gets so much easier."

Self-awareness
"Your graduation is a milestone that marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter. Your mother has always admired your determination and your ability to overcome challenges. Continue to face life with courage and grace, and there’s no doubt you’ll achieve your dreams."
