Great video on What NOT to say to a parent of a type 1 kid

I had to share this. It was a great little laugh for our family.

We had an experience at a local restaurant right after Clay got diagnosed. This woman proceeded to tell us that a friend of her daughter had found a "cure" in Canada using cinnamon. She told us to look into it an "get Clay cured!"

And we have had people hold up treats, in front of Clay, and say "Oh I guess you can't have these."

And we have had people say, right in front of Clay, "He has the really bad kind."

So just remember if you are unsure of a child's disease, learning difference, or physical issues be upfront about NOT knowing. We have wonderful people who say "I don't know anything about type 1, or what's the difference between type 1 and type 2, or what do I need to know about Clay?" We love these people.

The other people...well see for yourself.
