    While I don’t have diabetes, a friend of mine made two videos on her account. It won’t let me post the links, but I think you will enjoy them. Her username is @HeartCOOP. Through her, and another friend, who sadly, passed away of unrelated causes, I have learned about the disease and I an watching random youtube videos to get more of a sence of everyday life.

    This made me want to cry, and I have type 1 diabetes too! Hang in there Blake, we can get through this until there’s a cure. :)

    I think they turned it everyday into a positive way . Why aren’t they allowed to show others what goes on into a human with this ilness ? I think this vid shows only a part of the live of an child with diabetes .

    Matisbat,

    Don’t consider it unlucky.

    Turn it into a positive, and in an odd way, diabetes will better your life.

    Wow, what a great kid……and so smart too. I couldn’t print that legibly when I was only six, lol.

    I cried when I watched this clip. My 3 year old boy was diagnosed when he was only 18 months old. All kids with diabetes are brave and we hope that there will one day be a cure.

    We wish Blake and whole family strenght and hope for better future for our little diabetic kids all around the world. My son Eetu was diagnosed almost two years ago in age 3,5 years so battle has been on soon two years.
    I wish non invasive and reliable glucose meters for little fingers.. also the cure…

    Bless you and your family Blake! My daughter is now 14 and has been living with Type 1 for over 4 years. She is on a pump and continues to hope for a cure. She has just posted her new video “Let Your Voice Be Heard”. Hopefully with all the stories being posted on here, people will realize how many families are battling this disease. Our family holds out hope for a cure for our family and all the other families like us!

    Thank you Blake for being so strong. My little man, who is now two is also living with Diabetes so we understand what you are going through. Thank you Blake’s Dad for posting this inspirational video. I will be sending it to all my contacts to help them understand why us parents are fighting tooth and nail for a cure.
