There are lots of ups and downs- your brave daughter will get you through the rough time xxA star chart worked for us doing own BM's got a star-10 stars= trip to claires accessories. Meg was doing her own BM's within a week. For her insulin (we had to pin her down for a week) she got 5 pounds within 2 weeks she was doing this for herself and was loaded !good luck and if you ever need to chat PM me x</blockquote>
