November is national juvenile diabetes awareness month and this month is a very busy month for me. As most of you know, my son, Bryson was diagnosed with juvenile diabetes 4 years ago at the age of 8. Like any other parent, the news of this was devastating....it still is. But as we go through life, we have choices to make. And the choice I made for myself was to be proactive and this is when Crimson Clover was born. I have spent the past 4 years making jewlery and donating a big portion of the proceeds to the JDRF in my sons name and every year we create a special piece where 100% of the proceeds are donated to the JDRF research project. I am so blessed to be able to stay at home with my 5 children and create pieces for all of you to enjoy and know that I'm doing what God has put me on this Earth to do. This is my mission and my passion in life and I won't stop until we find a cure!

Just needed to comment on this post! First I have to say thank you for donating towards JD, every little bit helps. I too was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes when I was 8 years old. At the time I didn't really understand what was happening and just learnt to live with it. I've now had it for almost 18 years and while it has become a part of my life I do pray for a cure one day. I can't imagine using a pump but for your son no doubt it is just what he has learnt.
ReplyDeletePrevention and treatment of this disease involve maintaining a healthy diet, regular physical exercise, a normal body weight, and avoiding use of tobacco. Control of blood pressure and maintaining proper foot care are important for people with the disease. therapy and diabetes treatment also works.
