I was 8 years old when I first watched my dad have a diabetic seizure...
I remember watching his arms swing wildly, and feet shaking uncontrollably after he collapsed onto the cold hardwood floor...
I buried my face into my mom's shirt, screaming and crying in terror...
Tears erupting, thinking my dad was about to die...
It's a moment in time I will never forget...
Thinking that your hero is about to die, is the most shocking thing I could imagine a child going through... wouldn't you agree?
It wasn't the last time it happened, but it's the time that is etched in my mind...
I couldn't understand what was happening until later on in life...
The sad truth is that our family has a history of high blood sugar...
And when my dad's insulin levels drop too low, his body can go into shock and even cause a diabetic seizure ...
On that day, 8-year old little me was just a scared kid, unable to make sense of it all...
I had no idea what was happening...
After all, when you're a little kid, how can you understand the world in that way, right?
If you're a diabetic or have a diabetic in your family, by now you know the dangers that high blood sugar poses, don't you...?
You're constantly worried about eating out in social situations, whether something is going to cause your glucose levels to spike, or anything else that can go wrong at any moment in time...
I know that feeling because I watched my dad struggle with it my entire life...
It's scary, to say the least.
And the truth is it's something you never want to see someone you love and care about go through...
But it was only years later until after I started a supplement company called GoBiotix that I was able to do actually something to help my dad with his daily struggles with diabetes...
That's when I decided to launch our Blood Sugar Supplement, to make sure that other kids out there didn't have to see their parents go through diabetic seizures...
