Diabetes Squared

Diabetes Squared was created by parents, both film makers, of two young children with type 1 diabetes.  Their films shows their reality, struggles, tensions, and unexpected joys as the family teams together, keeping it together while living with diabetes. 
As I watched their films I realized I was watching our family and what we  do each day.  Doing the "D" grind is one thing but watching someone else doing the same thing really hit me hard.
