Which brings me to my latest rant.Felt so tearful earlier while I went through the emergency drill with my daughter again! Hate having to teach her the signs and warnings to look out for, and what to do if she spots them! Trying to reassure her that life ain't that different at the same time explaining when to dial 999. Telling her not to be scared, as I pack a hypo kit to keep in her bedside drawer. Trying to explain why my meals are a bit different from theirs (casserole tonight, mine was in a bowl minus the pots and yorkshire) and at the same time explaining why her balanced diet is important. Apologising AGAIN for not helping with the snowman as I was just so exhausted from the school hike up and down hills the snow that I could have cried. Telling my son that I can't come to his craft morning tomorrow as I have my dsn appointment, and feeling so angry with myself for getting diabetes and the guilt eating me up! I know there is no way I could have prevented getting type 1 but I can't help those feelings right now.And breathe..... Sorry girls I just needed to get it out.</blockquote>
