Sorry to hear about Nick. For children like him with Type 1 diabetes, a cold can turn into more than just an annoyance. His blood sugar numbers could have been affected making him even more miserable and the situation possibly dangerous. I'm glad he was able to take time to take care of himself. We must find a cure for juvenile diabetes!
