As a nurse practitioner, Hannah Brown started noticing a few worrisome things about her 4-year-old daughter, Gracie. She was thirsty all the time, always hungry and had to go to the bathroom more often.
Her father, Trinity, pointed out that the normally happy girl was also more irritable and cranky than she had been.
Adding up the symptoms, Hannah decided to take Gracie to the doctor to see if her hunch were true, but hoping it wasn?t.
?She wants the doctor to tell her it is not type 1 diabetes,? Trinity said. But the doctor confirmed Gracie had it. From that day forward, the family?s life changed as they all adjusted to how best to take care of the little girl.
