    hi samantha
    you are a strong little girl!
    i can barely imagine what life must be like living with diabetes and you are an inspiration! stay strong and follow your dreams!!!!! *Hugs!*

    Samantha really doesn’t want you to feel sad for her. She’s great. Living with diabetes is hard work and requires a lot of vigilance. But she thrives and is very successful at living her life. This disease needs a cure, not sadness and sympathy. She would much rather you feel inspired by her, than sad for her. But thank you very much for your comments!

    i have type one 🙁 but im living my life and i hate it when people say that its a minor disease or its managable because, EVERYDAY is a struggle…having a balanced reading would be my dream for one day…the days i try they never get there but the days i dont sometimes im lucky..but i can still do everything i want, diabetes is always still my priority though, ive had it 8 years and im 14. Ive been on the pump awhile it changed my life! (: I had no one who knew about it, Good Luck dahl. x

    wonderful video. my story is almost exactly the same, except i was diagnosed in my early teen years. you had someone w/ diabetes in your family and so did i, my mom. she was such a help and i’m sure your papa was too.

    keep your fingers crossed for a cure soon.

    Samantha and I

    your right,even though we know we will have to live with this for the rest of our life we still get up and enjoy what we have. i am 13 and got diabetes when i was 5 it’s hard at a young age because you don’t understand, but living with diabetes will bring you challenges everyday, but we diabetics we are strong and brave enough to overcome them.

    Just watched your video and it too brought back memories for me. I have been type 1 since I was 9 years old in 1966 and since Apr ’08 been using a medtronic pump and it has changed my life for me beyond relief. Keep on going on Samantha new technology is being made every day..God bless you

    I just saw this video and boy did it bring back memories. It’s like watching myself in the past. I was also diagnosed shortly after my 4th birthday, so I know exactly what she’s going through. I am now 24 years old and will in a few days be crossing my 20 year mark with type 1. My inspiration was seeing her Papa – 50 years with type 1… gives me something to look forward to. 🙂
