Dear Reader,
When my youngest daughter, Lauren, was diagnosed with diabetes at her sixth birthday nearly a decade ago, I felt more alone than I ever imagined I would in my life. Diabete s wa s a stranger to me, and despite the 700 children in Lauren's elementary school, I had no other parent to relate to. I dug for books and searched for information and learned all I could about helping her with this new life.
After a year, I reached out and began to volunteer with the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation raising funds for a cure, helping with advocacy in Washington, and serving as a volunteer support person to newly diagnosed families. As the years went by, I found that while giving support, I still needed to get it too. Diabetes is ever-evolving and needs our cons tant attention.
I wasand amthankful to have a world of support around me now. It is my hope that this book work s like a long, comfortable conversation, or like a support group in print. Read it and let it help you. But don't stop there. Follow the theme I push from chapter to chapter: Reach out and get real-time support; reach out and make a difference. We diabetes parent s need each other. Until the cure, I stand ready to help, as you all eventually will as well.
Sincerely,
Reassuring advice for managing symptoms and raising a healthy, happy child
Moira McCarthy

To the staff and volunteers of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. And to my Lauren, who deserves to be cured.
diabetes (d-bts,-tz) n. also called diabetes mellitus;

How can you begin to thank a group of friends and supporters who stretch out over what seems like a lifetime of dealing with diabetes? First, all my amazing friendsboth staff and volunteerat the JDRF, especially the Public Affairs Department, the Government Relations Department, and the New England Chapter. In particular, Heidi Daniels, Kara Coen, Peter Cleary, Michele Ariano, Susan Sobers, Larry, Ronnie and Laura, Mike, Jaime and Abbie, Peter Van Etten, Cynthia Ford, Nancy Jones, Rik Bonness and family, Kassy Marsha Helme, Katie Clark and her curly little Mini-me, my volunteer idol Ardy, the all-knowing Mollie, the tireless Dr. S. Robert Levine, Gail Pressberg, and so many more. My online goddesses Ellen and Renee, who understand everything and are always there for me. My tennis and tanning pals at the Eel River Beach Club; my fellow members of the Spoiled Upper Middle Class Women Who Have Time to Play Tennis in the Middle of the Week League at the Kingsbury Club and across the state; the creators of Tab Energy; the staff of Children's Hospital in Boston (Dr. Jake Kushner, Susan Crowell, and Dr. Joe Wolfsdorf, the most). Good friends who listen like the Tripps, Jean Driscoll, the Husbands, and Paul and Jen; Jean and Leo Hartnett who know how to pour a drink when needed, and the many members of Lauren's League for a Cure. To my agent Gina Panettieri, who talked me into this, and to Kerry Smith of Adams Media for being a true partner. Most of all, I thank my family: husband Sean for letting me be me, Leigh for being the best daughter and big sister on earth, and Lauren, who has been a championnot just for herself, but for all who suffer with diabetes. Together, we have survived this, and together, we will beat it.
