And from yesterday until a few minutes ago, Sara, Jess, and I aggregated some of those affirmations... and now we're sharing them.

| I WEAR GLASSES AND A PUMP AND MY FACE ONLY GETS STUCK LIKE THIS SOMETIMES |
For Wendy's daughter (who was - coincidentally? - diagnosed seven years ago TODAY), and anyone else who has to wear a lot of hardware: you can do this, and you can ROCK IT.
big, big, big thumbs up.
ReplyDeletei am not unknown. i am c. technology is sometimes stupid.
ReplyDeleteI've been wearing glasses now for 23 years, and I was diagnosed as T1D 7 months ago. Now I wear a pump!! I'm 34 years old. This video had me in tears...I just imagined that MY name was Sugar as I was watching. Thanks so much for making this for all young kids and the not so young kids that need words of encouragement. I CAN do this! And so can Sugar, glasses and all ;)
ReplyDeleteThis video made me tear up.
ReplyDeleteJeez, I don't even HAVE diabetes and I LOVE the D-OC! :] Y'all are rockstars.
And beautiful! <3

ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful thing you all did for sugar. Just one more thing to show how awesome the DOC is.

ReplyDeleteAMAZING! Ms.A aka "A" got so excited to be a part she started dancing around. Her favorite part was Justice saying Sugar was beautiful to him. the DOC rocks :)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE THIS! Not that I'm biased or anything...being a pumper and an eyeglass/contacts wearer ;) The DOC is a beautifully powerful group and kudos to all that participated in this amazing gesture!
ReplyDeleteKim, what a loving way to show Sugar how beautiful she is :-) I was in tears watching your video, I'm now feeling proud..wearing my glasses, pump and cgm, knowing that we have a community of amazing beautiful people and a little girl named Sugar who rocks her glasses!
ReplyDeleteAh-Ma-ZING!!!
ReplyDeleteI just had my eyes checked and even though my eyes did get worse I got to pick new snazzy frames... I love my glasses and my pump!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Kim, it's your Mom. Don't know the age of Wendy's daughter, but they should know that sometimes you only need glasses for a few years and the eyes self-correct to not needing them for many years. This happened to me once in grade school and once in my mid 20's. But after about age 40, well, different story.
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome!
ReplyDeleteWonderful video! Sugar, it shows all the support you have, wear those glasses with pride!
ReplyDeleteCrying and laughing! I love this! It turned out SO INCREDIBLY AWESOME!!!! I want to share with everyone I know!
ReplyDeleteThis video is amazing. My husband is T1D with glasses and a pump and he is the most beautiful person I have ever seen.
