摘要

When her daughter, Sydney, was diagnosed with Type l diabetes at age 8, Kate Farnsworth stopped sleeping through the night. She'd set the alarm for 3 a.m. so she or her husband, Dave, could prick the girl's fingers and check her blood sugar. If the results were worrisome, they'd adjust her insulin and keep checking every 15 minutes. At 6 a.m., another alarm went off to signal the next insulin dose, but by then, Kate had usually snapped awake again already. When Sydney got home from school each afternoon, Kate was there to check her glucose level. "Diabetes is one of the only diseases where you're sent a prescription and have to adjust the dosage on your own" forever, Kate says. For Sydney, the biggest worry was "how I wouldn't ever be normal again."
