When my daughter went to Kindergarten this year, my biggest fear was that she would miss out on class to go see the nurse for BG checks and to get insulin. Luckily for the most part this has been fine. Only those weird crazy unexplainable BG days has she had to go see the nurse on more than her scheduled 3 times a day. As for the snack, I try and pack one that is smaller in bites and higher in carbs so it won't take her long to eat. Other kids can throw away a snack if they don't want anymore. A diabetic, if given the insulin already, must finish the snack or will go low later. It is comforting to know other moms think similar to me but I too wish I didn't have to think this way sometimes.

I also know that you are doing a wonderful job with Emma knowing that it's hard to NOT make them feel different or alone. We feel that pain for them and yes it's heartbreaking. We will just keep fighting this evil hateful thing that has wedged itself uninvited into our lives. We will not let it ruin or define our childrens lives. We have what it takes even when we just wanna quit! You have my love and support Amy and you will forever have Emma's love for all you do for her!deanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06944039886655341977noreply@blogger.com
