I have two young daughters who are 2 years old and 4 years old...they both have type 1 diabetes and I am always worried about what kind of fears or emotions that I may be projecting on them. I try REALLY hard not to show my fear or frustration when I see a number that scares me, I know in the beginning I didn't do the greatest job at it but I am learning. <br /><br />My girls where diagnosed 11 months apart and it was devestating to me, I love to read your blog because I feel like I am getting a glimpse of what their life is like, I will never know what diabetes is like for them. I need to hear the good stories once in awhile, I also need to hear the bad, I think it helps me to be a better parent to my girls because I have alittle more perspective on what it is like to live WITH diabetes...the good and the bad parts.<br /><br />Thank you for sharing that with us parents.conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18365385305270234889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9175362385039466640.post-90124628159818083402010-04-12T22:16:25.037-04:002010-04-12T22:16:25.037-04:00I still try to protect my parents from my diabetes...I still try to protect my parents from my diabetes. I hate to let my parents see me in a weak moment (from a low or high blood sugar) because I know they worry. I even contemplated not telling my mom about my last eye appointment because I know how much she worries about me. :( <br />And, yes, that can totally change you blood sugars. Plus, when your a kid, I think a lot of parents gauge how well they are parenting by how well their child's a1c or blood sugar is. And that's not fair to the parents or the kids.Carahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09108867545803896885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9175362385039466640.post-30345950427342908672010-04-12T19:12:55.349-04:002010-04-12T19:12:55.349-04:00Wonderful post Kelly.

I try very hard to be laid back and not worried about the 'numbers game.' It's hard sometimes. I tell myself 'It's only a number and it just tells me what we need to do.' I try to tell that to G too, so she realizes the number is just a basis for knowing what to do next.<br /><br />Thank you for always sharing what it was like as a child with T1 and what impact your parents had on you and your care. They raised a wonderful daughter :0)Pennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11137611120689810820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9175362385039466640.post-63844512128930290812010-04-12T15:43:49.967-04:002010-04-12T15:43:49.967-04:00I am so with you on this one Kelly!

I often get comments on how laid back I am, (by those who don't really know me anyway :) and the reason is...if I'm not laid back about it all, I would be a hot mess. The only detriment is when I speak to new teachers..."Yes, I am laid back and calm about the whole diabetes thing...but listen up...what I am telling you is important! If I let it all get to me, I'd be in a nice mental institution about 20 miles away in Napa."<br /><br />But being a mom, I also wonder if I'm not worried enough. I have my moments. It is all balance. But calm in scary situations, like a bad low is so important. Great post!Merihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09752883120541646427noreply@blogger.com
