Just had to wake him as his bm was 2.5, and the little fella just wants to sleep.. its mind draining, i really would give a arm to swap places with him as I hate having to watch him suffer with this horrible illness. How do you explain to a child the importance of eating a full plate , not a quarter or half of it in regards to diabetes !! Or to wake up so he can be treated for his hypo .., having to turn the buggy around in the shop if there are any lolli pops in sight. I really dont like it The whole positive mental attitude thing works for me most days but tonight, I just had a good long cry and although I have a bursting headache i feel slightly better. This is tough work, and I dont mean to sound ungratefull and there are alot worse things happening to people around the world, but tonight I just am drowning in self pity.I'm 23, gave up my dream of becoming a lawyer to nurse my baby's diabetes and I dont regret it at all, and the one person who I thought would be there to support me (his dad) decides to leave me to it, as I am probably the best person for the job and know what I am doing !!So thank you for the beautifull person who started this thread... I love all you strong parents out there, for the one thing we share in our lives our unconvenient member of the family MR Diabetes..Night All</blockquote>
