Spring forward!
It never occurred to me that we would need to change all. the. things. Scratch that one up to being a T1D newb. So for all of you other newbies out there, here’s your reminder, too! P.S. “Consider changing your lancet.” Ha ha ha ha!

Happy 12th birthday, Luke!
Twelve years ago today was not only Super Bowl Sunday, it was the day Luke FINALLY decided to join us on the outside world. He’s always been an awesome kid- smart, kind, thoughtful.
