We will miss you guys this year, but will see you in 2009




Nasara's Stars will not be walking this year, but our prayers and hopes are with everyone who is walking. This event deserves the same coverage as any other walk that occurs. May we continue to pray for GOD to restore any cell in anyone's body that is not working as HE created it work. GOD BLESS everyone.

Strength through weakness

Hello All,

The other day when it was time for a site change, Nasara took the indwelling unit out of her hip and she must have hit a vain or something. She started crying and shaking as the blood flowed like a fountain. It took me a few minutes of continued pressure and ice to stop the flow. That has never happened before. She will be on a pump holiday for a little while. I wonder if she hit a vain or was the tube embedded in her muscle? So be careful all. God is good - she is be-bobbing around with her signature beautiful smile - blessing others. Peace and Blessings.

Something that makes you say, HHHMMMM


Did you know that there is data that links the onset of Juvenile Diabetes to vaccinations? Neither did I, until I came across an article re: Dr. Classen, CEO of Classen Immunotherapies, Inc. WOW - mind blowing. I am ready to push up my sleeves. Our children need the same advocacy and media attention as autism - it is my understanding that the root of the problem - the conditions our children have are the same - What do you think? Much more to come - I even think that it has hindered my daughters reading and math skills, since she was diagnosed so early - at the age when a child's brain is developing certain skills. HMM.......

Advice Letter - This is how we are multifaceted


Hi Michelle,

My name is Shelbee Williams and my 9 year old daughter Nasara was diagnosed at 2 - she has been pumping for 2 years also - Cozmo. In any event, when (recently) went to the hospital to have my son, I contacted another type 1 family from her school, who (GOD bless them) to assist my parents with the care of my daughter. I did have somewhat of an advantage, because they were a prior daycare parents of mine (I opened a daycare for children with special needs when my daughter was diagnosed), who agreed to help. It was a blessing, because they were in the neighborhood next to mine.

Even though she is on the pump, during my labor, her blood sugar got out of control and my parents were a nervous wreck - at the same time - they wanted to be at the hospital with me and my husband. So, prior to them arriving at the hospital, I contacted my friends grandmother and my parents and daughters met and got everything under control. (There was a big bubble in the tubing). It was actually funny from my end (of course in retrospect), because I am in the hospital bed, breathing through contractions while providing diabetes management on my cell phone (that was losing power). When my doctor came to see me he said, oh diabetes clinic - smiling. I was suppose to have natural child birth, but unfortunately I had to have a C-section - my last child and a C-section - But GOD is GOOD - he is beautiful - his name is Zion Paul.

Sorry, I am probably getting long winded - try the school clinic to meet other diabetic families and ask if someone may be able to assist. I realize that you may not know these people, but we all have kindred spirits in the condition that has been placed on us. Stay Strong.

Nasara 1 month after diagnosis - HER STORY




My name is Shelbee Williams and I am the mother of a 9 year old Type 1 (insulin dependent) diabetic daughter who has been given a GOD inspired invention that would benefit Type 1 & Type 2 diabetics and I have been praying and searching for an angel investor to bring this concept to reality.

To be continued.

She still won't eat

Low, low and low - but not hungry?????? Although she did tell me that she is beginning to tell when she is high - she said that her legs shake. When she is low her hands shake. She has not felt like herself today - she said she thinks she is feeling her body adjusting to the new target rate the Endo put her on. GOD has got you my suga buga.
Peace and Blessings, Shelbee
