These things, I'm sure, will all be part of Lindsay's life.<br /><br />Don, I have far too many adult family members who are in the situation you are in. I wish YOU good luck and I know you'll have the support of a great family. Change is tough but the impact of diabetes is definitely worse.

Sorry about your little one.
With my a1c ...Kathy,<br /><br />Sorry about your little one.<br /><br />With my a1c creeping up I recently had to switch to a diabetic diet in an attempt to lose weight and lower my numbers. As tough as it was/is, I continuously tell myself how much more difficult it would be had this happened as a child.<br /><br />I feel for you and your daughter and wish you all the best. During my diabetic education class, the nurse who is about my age, middle 50s, stated that she thought that there would be a cure during our lifetime.<br /><br />Hopefully that will be the case.<br /><br />Good luck.Donhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16616325922884268564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11695488.post-77737981702282606362010-02-25T13:57:32.165-05:002010-02-25T13:57:32.165-05:00Poor thing!

My cousin was diagnosed as a small kid too and the teenage years have been rough on her because she doesn't take it seriously enough (not being able to eat what her friends eat, etc. and her blood sugar goes awry), Hopefully you can instill a good sense of the condition in TOT (that's funny by the way) as she gets older.<br /><br />We'll keep you all in our thoughts and good luck.Drewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09042600014262648084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11695488.post-7935994236914240382010-02-24T20:32:21.790-05:002010-02-24T20:32:21.790-05:00Us gals just love all you gals...
