Holly added a discussion to the group parents of kids with Type 1
I just need to vent.
I am having a pitty day. I know we all have them but I am not doing well today. My husband was in the hospital in January (former type 2) and is now on dialysis. He was just approved for permanent disability because he is not reacting well to the dialysis. Then we contacted the mortgage company and of course they can't do anything. Just waiting for that ball to drop. My 8year old daughter was diagnosed with type 1 when she was four and then with Celiac when she was 6.I am feeling VERY tired. I…See More
Holly commented on Robyn's blog post 'Beaten Down, But Fighting to get back UP!!'"You can handle this! Life is full of ups and downs.

Holly replied to Bobby's discussion 'Does a Gluten or Lactose free diet help?'"My t1 daughter who was diagnosed at four and is 8 now was diagnosed with Celiac about 1 year ago. It depends on what she eats. We did have to do some adjusting when we had to change her diet over but not much. She isn't lactose free thank…"
Holly replied to Dave.Ladner's discussion 'Need some help with testing...'"My Daughters Doctor just ordered one for her she is a little nervous. Let me know how it goes and I will update you as well. Have a great day!"
Holly replied to Cason's discussion 'How do you handle the mood swings?' in the group Type 3 Diabetes"How about seeing a therapist. They may be able to help him and you deal with all of the mood swings. Sometimes it as simple as that. If he won't go what about going yourself. Maybe he isn't the only one feeling frustrated and helpless and…"
Holly replied to Gracey 's discussion 'How to sleep at night?' in the group Type 3 Diabetes"Hello my T1 daughter is 8 now and I know how you feel. My husband who was type two for the first 10 years of our marriage and has now lost weight and is off the pills was ignoring his diabetes for a long time and now is paying for it. He is only 46…"

Holly replied to Jay (JJ)'s discussion 'Grandparents Role in Your T1D World' in the group parents of kids with Type 1"I have a little of both. My T1 daughter is now eight and was diagnosed at four.

Holly commented on Penny R.'s group 'parents of kids with Type 1'"My T1 daughter is now eight. She was diagnosed at four and within two months was on the pump. I LOVE IT!!!!

Holly replied to Dolores's discussion 'Whats the most annoying comment you've ever gotten about diabetes?'"I actually had a family member say that My T1 daughter (8 now at the time was6) lives in a bubble and that I am always worried about her.

Jacob's mom said… I can definitely see how adding celiac in would add insult to injury. I would definitely have a hard time adjusting, at least with diabetes they can eat what they want within reason, now you really have to change things up, say no to certain things and spend more at the grocery store! in the end she will be healthier and maybe the rest of your family too, going gluten free is'in vogue' so to speak so hopefully the transition will not be horrible. hang in there this site has been very helpful in helping me deal with things. just being heard if helpful in and of itself! if you need to vent i'll listen! best wishes amy

i agree 100% with your recent post, the arguing got to me to, we come here for support only, i hope you are having a good week with your daughter, i've been feeling alittle blue about things lately, i guess i will put my "big girl pants on" and deal with it, i like that one, i also like that somehow, my son handles all this very well and is ussually less reactive than me thank god for kids, like you said they are the same great kids they were before diagnosis, maybe better, people with easy lifes dont appreciate what they have! hang in, amy
