thisiscaleb.wordpress.com Caleb has Type 1 diabetes. He was diagnosed shortly before turning 4. He currently uses an insulin pump – the Omnipod (same as his hero Nick Jonas). We are hopeful that Denise Faustman and her team and/or the JDRF will be able to cure this disease in the near future. But they are still in need of funding to do so.

some of you are saying it will never be the same enymore but there well be a cure in the futere
Hi I have diabetes Type 1 with the Pump im only 13 it really is UPSETTING i was Also going to follow my dad and be a lorry driver But now i cannot its upsetting But its a shame really is very unfair
ive had diabetes (type 1) for atleast 11 months so far. i know im normal its just that it will never be the same.
life is unfair, i wanted to go into the military too before i was diagnosed, but its just not an option anymore and theres no use in being upset about it when theres nothing u can do about it
@Iankandjz ya it sucks, and two weeks in to the disease i felt the same, but you shouldnt be depressed about it, u are just like everyone else in the world except that u actually have to pay attention to what u eat and u have to take care of what ur body doesnt do automatically, the sooner u stop complaining about the card uve been dealt and the sooner u start living YOUR life the happier ull be…nothing is going to change soon so its really pointless to get worked up about it
Congrats! We celebrated Caleb’s diaversary for the first time this past year (three years w TiD). It was the first time we were ready to celebrate the success we have in the diabetes battle! 15 years is nothing to sneeze at!
You ARE normal! But I know what you mean. Thanks for connecting with us and commenting!
@gang4bang34 I’ve had Type 1 diabetes for 5 years and I can’t remember what it’s like to be normal either!
i’ve had type 1 diabetes for 15 years now.
@gunchester2k7 i also wanted to join the marines but i got type 1, 4 years ago and i have a omni pod
and im pissed but nothing going to change
i have had it for 5 fucking years now it takes the piss i wanted to join the army now i cant life is so unfair
I fuken hate my life i was dianosed with tis 2 weeks ago sorry for my harsh words tha anger and depression i am feeling is something i never had to bare in my life now i am forced to
I would have much rather had it at a younger age, Its tough knowing what its like “not” having it, I guess if I had it when I was younger i would not have known any better
i was diagnosed type 1 at the age of 10 and am now 14, it has been soooo difficult( a bit easier with my cozmore pump) i cannot even think of how difficult it would be at such a young age! good luck with ur diabetes Caleb!
i am a type one diabetic and ive had it for 3 years and 11 months, eveerythin you have mentioned in this video is very true, i almost started crying becus i cant even remember what it was like with out diabetes. i understand how your son feels. he is very cute, i just got the insulin pump and im scared but its already life changin. thank you for this video it reminds me of exactly what i was like when i was diagnosed.
Thank you so much for this video!! My daughter was diagnosed at 2. This video really helped me bring out some emotions I have been fighting off since she was diagnosed less than a year ago. Thank YOU! We are also in the process of purchasing omnipod and I was curious as to what your thoughts are on this pump.
Thanks
live every day to the fullest. i have had type 1 for 18 years, and i feel great. i have a medtronic pump and check my blood sugar 6 to 8 times a day. if you keep a good attitude and don’t let it get you down, life can be more normal. it’s not always easy, but just take care of yourself so that others don’t worry about you. and don’t feel guilty for being a burden, because you are not.
I was diagnosed in January of 1997. I was 9 years old.
NICK Jonas….I meant Nick….don’t know why I typed Joe…..
Oh holy cow. I’m sitting here now with tears rolling down my cheeks. I’m 25 and also a type 1 diabetic. I know how hard it was for me to adjust to this terrible disease when I was diagnosed 2 years ago, I can’t imagine what its like for a innocent little boy. I know his hero is Joe Jonas…but your little boy is MY new hero. He’s an inspiration to us all. God bless your beautiful family.
oh…p.s….I LOVE the OmniPod Christmas ornaments. Too Cute!!
inspiring and powerful video , your son is the same age as our son who also was diagonsed with type 1 at 3 1/2 years
Hey there. Thanks for the comment. It’s nice to hear such things from someone who has been through it!
Just wanted to tell you that you have a beautiful family and a great son! You remind me of my mother. I was diagnosed at age 16 ( a lot older than caleb) but a mom is a mom no matter what. I am now 27 an doing great! Keep up the good work…..
