#5 - Invisible Diabetes #NHBPM
I was going to go with the prompt today but it's actually 11:45 PM on Friday night and I'm tired. I got through 1/2 of my post and changed my mind when I saw this picture on my phone . . .
Diabetes is often called an invisible disease which I understand because when Nate looks like this . . .
all you see is a precious little 3-year old boy. Most people would never know that he has diabetes or anything else for that matter. This is the little boy that I want you to see but please don't forget the little boy that I see at home has 2 life saving medical devices attached to him at all times. His insulin pump infuses a life-saving and potentially fatal man-made insulin through his little body. If his pump malfunctions it quickly becomes a life or death situation.
Diabetes Awareness Month means a lot to me because Diabetes is NOT invisible to me.

Oh but what a cute tushie he has! I wonder if I'd get the same response if I posted a picture of mine... ;)
Ok I almost choked at Elizabeths comment.
Great post my love, people don't see all we do. The battle scars of it all. The neverendingness of it.
Love that tush though ;)
The JDRF should have used this picture for their full page ad in the NY Times , last week...
How conflicting that these pictures make me smile and break my heart all at the same time. <3
How in the world am I supposed to pinch that cute booty with those things takin up all the real estate? Cutey pa-bootie!
Sweets looks the same way... Visible to us. And that's enough.
