I haven't posted in a long time, but it's time to get in touch with a gymnastics community again.
My 16 year old daughter was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes this past November 24, 2014. She is a level 9 gymnast who has been competing since she was 7. We were unsure but hopeful that diabetes would have little affect on her. I am proud to say it hasn't slowed her down in the least. She is having one of her best seasons as an optional! She competed on December 12, 2014 just a few short weeks after hospitalization/diagnosis. She scored a 31.975 just shy of a state qualifying score of 32. Today she skyrocketed to a 35.625 adding a fabulous new vault and sticking her beam routine! She is hoping to perform a double tuck in her floor routine in a few weeks and put her switch leap back tuck back into beam routine. We are so proud of her and how well she is taking care of herself!
