Diabetes

This week Joey went to the doctor and found out he has diabetes.  They are not sure if it is Type 1 or Type 2 yet, but think that it probably will be Type 1.  It's the same type that his dad had when he was diagnosed at the age of 24.  We went to see an Endocrinologist today and he gave us some information about the long road we are going to face with this.  I really liked the doctor that we are seeing and feel that we are in good hands, it will take weeks before we know how to manage this and get Joey on the right dose of insulin, find out just how to carb count and how to change our eating habits as a family.  We are in for a big change but I know that we can make it through this transition. The doctor said they have made some big strides in how they treat diabetes in the resent years, then what they used to do in the past, and although I'm nervous and scared about the road ahead of us we will take it one day at a time.  So heres to lots of doctors visits and information overload.
