[QUOTE="phdiabetic, post: 1667125, member: 317494"] If you are feeling burnt out or distressed, consider getting professional mental health help. Take care of yourself! Caregiver's fatigue is a real thing, and it's totally normal to feel annoyed, frustrated, useless, hopeless, and many other negative feelings. Remember, an important part of being a caregiver is taking care of yourself first, so that you can be your best possible self when you need to help others. I am about your daughter's age, I take care of my diabetes on my own but my parents still help with things like sitting with me if my blood sugar is dropping, watching my numbers on the cgm, carrying hypo treatment etc. Even if your daughter isn't able to communicate it with you, I am sure she is grateful for your care. I was very lucky that my mum knew the symptoms of T1D, and was able to help me get treatment. A knowledgeable parent is a real life saver! Keep it up!! [/QUOTE]
