Walk day bittersweet!

Must finished our walk yesterday!! Fantastic turnout and energy!! Got to meet our local Trialnet folks from Louisville and get myself and two other kids screened… My 5 year old said “mommie does this mean I have diabetes now?”. No, I said!!! This is just to test your blood do do some screening!! I met a mom who had a 14 year old, diagnosed at 6 whose 17 year old screened positive (for one of three antibodies) six months ago, she only had one antibody, you have to have three to qualify for a study, (funding limited) and within 6months she is politic and failed gtt. I felt so bad for her, she was just hit with this second diagnosis this week… How will I handle it if one of my other kids gets it? Will it be easier?? The 5 year old told me she hopes she will get it so I can spend more time with her… Broke my heart…
