heart breaking.. the pain in these moms voices, makes me want to reach out (as a once "diabetic child" who is now an adult) and tell them no matter what to remember their child is a child, just like all other children, just because they have diabetes doesn't negate the fact that they are still a child/teenager/adult.
The video is poignant but I sure wish they were saying "a child who has diabetes" instead of "a diabetic child"....doesn't much matter if they are just words, but unfortunately they carry meaning to some

I'm sad from a couple of perspectives

First, these mothers are top Mums and care so much. We often forget the toll on those that care about us so much

Second, a lot of the things they are so scared about could be aided by a CGM or similar management devices. C'mon governments and insurance companies, please help those with diabetes that need it the most!
