[QUOTE="Dawnandkids, post: 2362642, member: 537319"] Thank you both for your reply. I’m feeling a bit better today having had a good cry for the last couple of days actually. My daughters sugars are doing well overall, but I just always want to get them better. I have this drive that if I can keep them ‘normal’ until technology allows accurate control, or better still, a cure, I can keep her as healthy as a non diabetic long term. I spoke to a few people who found their sugars were much better if they had less carbs (less room for error) so that’s why I tried to start thinking about substituting carbs for alternatives to see if this would help. I felt really motivated when I saw good results initially but then have come down hard this week as they are not behaving as I would like. Makes me feel helpless and frustrated that I can’t control it better for her. Letting her and her body down. I know that no matter how good her sugars are, I will always want them better and never be happy. I need to work on that. I also wonder whether I’m holding on to hope of the future too much rather than coming to terms with the here and now. [/QUOTE]
