"Thank you, at least I know I am not alone. Like I told the caseworker, we had perfect control until the last year or so. Do they think I woke up one day and decided to no longer care?"

Update on social services case

The case worker was here about ten minutes. She said she had to go through the routine, but had already spoken to his pediatrician (we actually used Dr. Gheesling as a reference).

Shant replied to Shant's discussion 'Tired of DKA' in the group parents of kids with Type 1
"I think Trent is suffering through it as well. He has syncope and 6 major allergies, so he usually comes with me unless it is during the school week. I think the stress causes more episodes of passing out for him. His diet is more strict than…"
