Hi. My name is Mikayla. I am 7 years old and I live in northern Pennsylvania. I got diagnosed with type 1 diabetes on January 17, 2011. My mom and dad noticed that I was drinking a lot, going to the bathroom a lot, and had a tummy ache, so they took me to the doctors office. My blood sugars were very high in the 500s and I was a little tired. I was transferred to a larger hospital to meet with a pediatric endocrinologist. I was in the hospital for a couple days and had some blood tests. I also got lots of gifts! My mommy is a nurse and my daddy is my hero. I feel safe when I'm with them.
