When asked what it was like growing up with diabetes, Six Until Me’s Kerri Sparling admits she has a really hard time remembering because life seem like any other kid’s, just a little different if she thinks really hard. From morning blood tests, to measuring cups in her moms purse, to going from Golden Grahams to Cheerios, growing up with diabetes definitely didn’t take away from Kerri’s childhood.

Watch as she Kerri talks about how diabetes was never the main focus in their household, it was just a part of life and managing it came naturally. Don’t let diabetes make your child’s life any different than it needs to be, they can still live just like every other kid!
