March 23, 2019 will be engrained in my memory as long as I live. As much as I would give anything to turn back time and somehow change the events that unfolded that day, I know it will forever be one of the hardest days of my life. Almost 3 years later, here's what I would say to myself then:
It seems unbearable. It is unbearable. You were just told your child has an incurable disease that could kill them, and you're now expected to pick your jaw up off of the floor and soldier on. You get to learn about insulin, basals, boluses, hypoglycemia, and glucagon- all words that were foreign just 24 hours ago, and you would have been perfectly happy keeping it that way.
Grieve. Grieve for your child. Grieve for the many shots and finger pricks your child is going to endure. Grieve knowing your child may very well feel "different". Grieve for a piece of their childhood innocence being taken from them. Grieve for yourself. Grieve the carefree visits to the swimming pool where you didn't have to worry about your child's blood sugar dropping too much from the activity. Grieve being able to put your child to sleep and not worry about their blood sugar reaching a dangerous level. Grieve sleeping through the night, because you won't be doing that anytime soon. Grieve your peace of mind. Just grieve.
And now, be thankful. It feels like there is absolutely nothing to be thankful for right now, and that is okay. But hear me out: be thankful. Because there is, in fact, so much gratitude to be had. Your child is in DKA and hooked up to IVs galore, but the diagnosis came just in time. There wasn't much time left to figure out what is wrong, and the doctors caught it in time. Your child is alive. Before 1920, Type 1 Diabetes was a death sentence, but it's not anymore thanks to the discovery of insulin. Inventions like insulin pumps and glucose monitors are luxuries people didn't have fifty years ago. Be thankful, even now. Be thankful.
It's going to be a long time before life feels okay again. Everything is so scary, and it will continue to be scary in the days and weeks to come. Now, here comes the 60 second pep talk. This awful thing just happened that you have absolutely no control over, and it feels so unfair. But, you have the power to write the narrative from here. You can let this overwhelm you and overtake you, or you can face the challenge head on. You are braver than you know, and so is your sweet, beautiful baby who's life is forever changed. You owe it to him to learn as much as you can about this diagnosis so that you can still give him everything in life you always wanted to. So choose today and every day not to let diabetes win. Acknowledge it. Respect it for the life threatening disease it is, but face it head on and show your son that his circumstances do not define his opportunities. He can still do anything and everything he puts his mind to, and the first person to teach him that is you. Soldier on, and in the words of my Nana, stay strong, little warrior.

I keep searching until i saw peoples testimony about Dr Osato recommendation online for how he has being curing HERPES with his herbs and i emailed him and tell him my problem and he prepare my cure and send it to me through UPS and gave me instructions on how to use the herbs and behold after i finish drinking it i went to the hospital for checkup and the result was negative and the virus was completely gone from my body. You can contact Dr Osato to get your herbs too and cure yourself from these viruses.

At first, Yes, I was devastated thinking I have an incurable STD for life. After doing hours of research I quickly realized genital herpes is a filthy parasite that just likes to hide in your body. Yes, There’s no “medical cure” but that doesn’t mean your body can’t get rid of it. I literally flush it out of my system with the help of Doctor Azuka, A natural herbal medicine which I ordered after doing some research. And now I’m HSV-2 negative, I never believed it until my doctor finally gave me the test results and behold I was HSV-2 free. I’m so glad that I found you, Doctor Azuka. Thanks so much for your goodness I’m grateful. You can also get your help from him through his

Herpes is a terrible disease, if not for my wife and the help of the Dr .Ede my life would have been a mess! I was diagnosed with Herpes in 2019, my wife encouraged me, and told me not to lose hope, we managed to give birth to a baby Boy who was free from the disease, and my wife was always there for me! One day she came to me and told me that She had found a man who could cure me. Based on scientists, they said there is no cure for Herpes; she told me that she has seen many testimonies about him on the internet. We decided to contact him and ask me some questions about myself and the disease, and he asked us to buy his herbal cure that is going to help me, which we did! 7days later he asked me to go for the Herpes test, faithfully I went to do the Test, and Behold, I was cured, the virus was not found in my Body… My Dear wife and my Father Dr .Ede God will surely bless the both of you, till the end of time, in Jesus name.. If you have any problem kindly contact him on medicalmediumherbal@gmail.com or WhatsApp him on +2347054690368 He’s a honest man
I was devastated when I lost all my funds to a cryptocurrency investment platform, I couldn’t withdraw my profits and my initial investment. I thought I had lost all my savings until I did some research and stumbled upon Spyweb Cyber Security & Cryptocurrency Recovery Company. I was very impressed by their reviews online and they have been very helpful to many other people who lost their funds just the same way I did. I contacted Spyweb Cyber Security Services immediately and provided them with adequate information to enable them to assist me in recovering my funds, and to my satisfaction, Spyweb Cybersecurity was able to recover my funds and have my money sent back to my wallet account. They are incredibly helpful and trustworthy. I’m truly grateful for their support and the outcome of my quest.
I truly recommend their services.
