I read your post and I want you to know I thinik you are incredible. You have deep insight into the problems for your son and you have really focused on the situation. I am in awe and offer you my respect for the efforts and all the love you are giving. You are making a way for you all to live with diabetes. Whatever works out for you is the way to go. Just keep following what is inside of you. Obviously it is excellent.
I have two type 1 kids who are adults now and will be happy to help in any way I can. I would also like to offer our fantastic teens we have in our family here. They are wonderful too. If your son would be interested in talkiing to them, I have a girl and a boy in mind who are really terrific and i am sure would love to talk to him They are both type 1's as well. If your son is interested, he can either talk through your site or can sign up on his own site here.
I am so glad you are here with us Sarah. You need the supoport too We have a lot of parents on here and i am hoping you get to meet more of them.
When you get a chance check out our forums and groups. They have a lof of information about all kinds of things on there. They have been a tremendous help to me. Good luck to you and i really hope you come back and let us know how things are going.
Blessings be to you.
