Hi, my name is Jordan. I am 12 and I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in November of 2012. It started when my family and I noticed I was using the restroom a lot. Some of my family and friends said that I was really skinny. My parents had taken me to my 12 year old check up because my birthday had just past. My doctor immediately found that since my last appointment (6 months prior) I had lost 11 pounds. My mom and dad asked the doctor to take a urine sample because of my frequent urination. After I did that they immediately found ketones in the sample and took me to test my blood sugar. The nurse told me and her partner that it was 486. I didn’t know what this meant but they looked very concerned. They then took me back to my parent with the doctor and told them the number. Dr. George then told us that we needed to get to a hospital soon and that I was diabetic. Visit Jordan's page More children with diabetes

There's nothing quite like an authoritative author for a topic like diabetes. Amy Stockwell Mercer sums up her credentials in her introduction: "It's been 25 years since I was diagnosed, and I am now the mother to three healthy boys." Diagnosed at age 14, about six months after her younger sister, Stockwell Mercer enlists the wisdom and experiences of many other women living with diabetes to offer guidance and encouragement for women with diabetes who might feel alone or isolated or just not understood. You'll learn from women diagnosed as kids and diagnosed as adults who have found ways to live well with diabetes. The Smart Woman's Guide to Diabetes isn't a medical guide to caring for diabetes. It's more of an emotional guide. One chapter heading sums it up best: Building the Confidence to Live Well. Highly Recommended for every woman with diabetes.
