February 2024 will mark 3 years since our world got rocked with Julia's diagnosis of Type 1 Diabetes. We wouldn't be where we are today had it not been for so many friends and care team members to help us. With 3 years, we have been able to reach a new norm of routine. But that doesn't mean we have nights where the alarm is waking us up multiple times. Or that we don't have many highs or lows..... We never get a "vacation" from keeping her blood sugar levels in check. Thankfully, technology has helped us so much. We are appreciative of all that has been developed to help us and know that a cure is within reach.
While current technologies can’t do it all, we are confident that with continued research, there will be many more amazing breakthroughs. We look forward with anticipation to more affordable insulin, more automated bolus, or even smaller, less noticeable devices to have attached her – maybe even eliminated!
Which is why we want to ask for your help in making a donation to our JDRF One Walk 2024 team. Waddles for Julia will be at it again.
There are 2 ways to show your support for Waddles for Julia: monetary donation, and/or logging miles. Monetary donations can be made directly on this website towards our team.
