Ask Me Anything > Did You asked a daughter?
Hello Bożena!
So amazing that we are connecting from so far away. I'm sorry to hear about your daughter's diagnosis but I think you will find that the diabetes online community is very supportive and helpful.
Arden was three years old when I started this blog and so the simple answer to your question is, no I didn't speak with her prior to blogging. I honestly didn't expect the site to be widely read and she was too small to discuss the topic. As she gets older I am very reverent of her feelings and desires when it comes to what appears here. I don't talk about or show anything that Arden isn't comfortable with. I respect her privacy and try very hard to write only from my perspective... that's a fine line to draw but I think I do it reasonably well. I hope that answered your question!
Best of luck to you and your family!
Scott

My daughter is 7. She has own opinion and I think I should.
You wrote, you didn't expect the side to be widely read. I wonder how many readers do you have?

I don't make the sites numbers public, I'm sorry. I can only say that it's a lot of people and I'm so grateful that they take time out of their day to come here. I hope you understand... Best, Scott

I have a daughter with a fresh diagnosis of type 1 diabetes I think of the blog and I have one associated with this question. Did you asked the daughter if she want you to drive this blog? You're an author but she's the central figure
