This is very touching, and i really didnt know how much all these shots would add up to, how many does Arden usually have??

I am a type 1 diabetic, and my heat really goes out to someone as young as Arden, coping with this terrible disease, she really is the bravest little girl i have heard off. Although i am much older then Arden (12!) i still know how it is to live with Diabetes, but to try and re-assure you, it does get easier for the parent once the child grows up, so my mom says , most days i now give myself insulin and tset my own BG, we need to find a cure, to give all the sifferers their childhoods back, it isnt fair.

STAY STRONG ARDEN, a cure is on its way. xxx

Emily,

Arden gets an average of 7 shots a day and 9 or 10 finger sticks, more if she has lows.
