Day 158

If you only knew....

  • That my kids have to get multiple daily injections of insulin and it hurts every time.
  • The pokes dont ever get "easy" or "normal".
  • Life in general doesnt ever go back to "normal" ...We have a new normal that includes test strips, blood drops, syringes, insulin, and its anything but "normal".
  • Nothing I did caused my kids to get diabetes...and no, this isnt me being defensive, its just plain fact. It is an autoimmune disease..
  • Many nights madi wakes up in the middle of the night and I have to check her glucose to make sure a "low" didnt wake her up... Sometimes a low number can cause her to awake..or have bad dreams.
  • I really hate diabetes... although I go with the flow every day...and try to act like its just part of our life, I really hate this disease..
  • Type 1 diabetes changes everything in our loves... going out, naps, sickness, babysitters, sports, food, money, everything!
  •  Being an Type 1 advocate isnt really a choice. Its a responsibility!
  • Its been a year and I still wish every day that my children didnt have the worry, pain and annoyance that type 1 brings..
  • We will do all we can to share and educate others on what Type 1 REALLY is.
  • My kids are just "kids" but they are heros too!  They inspire me daily.
  • Madi at least once a week says "I wish I didnt have diabetes" or "diabetes sucks". It breaks a moms heart.
