I recently joined this site and posted about my 2 small children who have just been diagnosed Type 1 within a day of each other. I also have a 15 month year old to look after, so there is never a quiet moment in my house! My husband has been diabetic for 24 years, so on top of worrying about my kids, I also worry about him even though he is well controlled and managed ok before I came on the scene. He is away on business at the moment, so I guess looking after the kids on my own is taking its toll, with no one to chat to at the end of the day - so that's where you guys come in!!
I know I should be happy, as my 2 kids are doing fine and last week had their check ups - both having an HBA1 c of 7. It's been hard work getting the results, with a food diary for each of them and constant blood checks. I'm a emotional basket case at the moment and get another grey hair every time the school or nursery ring! They called today to let me know that there is a case of swine flu at the school, but at least it wasn't because they were having a hypo!
Sorry to go on but I feel better already for posting this!
