dbw day 4 - what if

Today's prompt: Tell us what your Fantasy Diabetes Device would be?  Think of your dream blood glucose checker, delivery system for insulin or other meds, magic carb counter, etc etc etc.  The sky is the limit – what would you love to see?

I asked the kid if she could think of anything for this prompt and she said 'yeah, just not right now', so maybe down the line we'll have a guest post from her addressing this topic. In the meantime, you're stuck with me. So.

What if there was a way for newly diagnosed families to find other people that have been where they are, to help them start their journey on the right foot.

What if there was a place to go in case of a middle of the night diabetes debacle to find a bit of advice or even just a "me too, hang in there pal" to help you get through.

How about a way for teens to meet other teens, so they could share parental horror stories and offer support to one another.

Imagine if there was somewhere to go if you needed to laugh at the ridiculousness of life with diabetes.
 
What if someone inspired a whole bunch of people to share their unique viewpoints on a variety of topics, to offer the opportunity to make more connections.

And what if there was a time and place that gave you a chance to meet up with some of the people who have made your road a little easier to travel.

That would be so frickin' rad.
