I have spoken to Amy a few times via Facebook and get to read lots of inspiring stories that come from her life as a mother of a diabetic girl - in fact the little girl that wants the diabetic barbie doll! This family is on a role in the diabetic community - and they know the secret of it all - don't give up! and if you're looking for that very message every day to get you out of bed and checking your blood sugar head over to her blog because that is where you will find that push.
I think that mothers/fathers blogging is a wonderful thing - I am sure the children will eventually appreciate it all knowing that their parents went through it all with them - of course experiencing it in a different way than diabetics themselves, but boy, can you imagine all the hard work that these parents are doing - and even stopping to blog about it to provide support and a foundation for other parents going through the same thing!
Now, there are tons of great blogs out there, as much as I want to list them all, I know that everyone will shine somewhere out there! So, since this is specifically about blogging, I'd love to just say that I am glad I am not the only crazy one out there who documents my life with diabetes! If I am not going to have normal blood sugars, I'd at least like to have normal hobbies!

I am glad to read that you will be part of the #DBlogWeek! Looking forward to your posts! As a Type1 mother, I constantly worry that my son will "get" diabetes also. But reading parents' blogs reassure me that even though my little boy might become diabetic, If they can handle it -without- having type 1 themselves, I think I'd be okay.
