The Olsen Update

When I watched this video I cried like a little baby.  Tears ran down my face.  Janet's video is a great message to ANYONE battling ANYTHING.

She's a crack up. I loved her reaction when I told her that she wan't getting her night time injection anymore.

I think this is a great video.  I want all our friends and family to realize that carbs are what effect a Type 1 Diabetics blood sugar.  NOT SUGAR.  Halloween is coming up and Alana will be on her shiny new insulin pump. Yes we will still have our target carb numbers each day. BUT COME ON.... Halloween is only once a year.  LET THERE BE CHOCOLATE!!!!!

I found a new channel on Youtube that I LOVE. I'm sure you'll be seeing lots of video posts from them Enjoy this video from humaBLOG...

I love this video.  Rock your glasses and pump!  Alana is getting close to wearing glasses again (She wore them when she was two.  SO CUTE). We have to got to the eye Dr. soon to have a check up because Alana had her eye test at school and she was on the boarder of failing the test.  Not sure what her blood sugar was when they did it,  but I know that could effect her sight as well.
