It becomes, not easier, but it is just regular maintenance, like grushing your teeth. Sometimes I have inexplicable highs and lows, but I am fortunate not to have hypo unawatreness, nor major complications.. REmind your son of the MANY diabetics who are professional athletes, moms, dads, and can be anything that they want.!!!
What a wonderful mom you are to be so rightfully proud of your son!! I was diagnosed 41 years ago at the age of 13 and I know how difficult it can be to be a teen diabetic... God Bless You and your family!!!
Hi Ang,
My in-laws will be here exactly when you will be but I will for sure make time to see you guys at least once! Are you staying at Orange Tree again?
im sorry to hear about your soon. i am 17 years old, and i was diagnosed about 6 months ago. your son is proabably feeling alot of stress right now. it is just plain out hard being a teen, worring about dances and homework and now blood sugars!!! its really hard. i have my " bad" days but my mom is always there for me to cry to. and im sure you are the same for your son. let me know if he wants to talk
:)
We are struggling a little bit with Byron and his control. He is forgetting to bolus every day and so his bg's are all over the map. It is so frustrating. I just forgets. Even if reminded, he forgets. It reminds me of Miles a year ago so I think it is the "teen" thing...Other than that, just fine. Byron has a slow week next week so call if you want to get together.
Hi Angela,
I am sure you nervous as hell but he is in the best hands he could be. At a diabetic camp? Who could take care of him any better (besides mom of course). I really hope you take that time to relax and have some adult beverages. You deserve it!
