[QUOTE="Chloelox, post: 2300559, member: 518087"] I’m a new diabetic mum, my daughter is 3 months old and requires a lot of medical care. After pregnancy I began to honeymoon and I hit a major low, luckily my friend was with me and she grabbed her off me and told me to sit down while she found something sugary. She sat on the floor with me and my daughter until I started to feel better. I felt guilty for weeks as I don’t know if I would have managed it well without my friend being with me, but hey! I’m still learning. I don’t hide my diabetes from anyone, with all my friends and family knowing how to check my sugar and treat accordingly. As my daughter grows up I hope she will also be able to spot signs or symptoms of highs and lows and learn how to help me if I’m unable to help myself. Try not to worry; it’s just part of life for us. I bought Dexcom, it helps so much.. it alerts when a low or a high is coming so I can treat to try and avoid it! It’s brilliant, especially running around after a little one! [/QUOTE]
