I hate this

[liasmommy2000]

I hate this darn disease. I hate how in your face it is, always. I hate seeing a high reading and thinking of what it could mean one day down the road. I could go on of course but I’d better stop. I know there are much worse diseases out there and that compared to many children in this world, Lia is a very lucky little girl. But I still hate it. :mad:

Just having a rough morning.

Hey, totally understand you!!! (((HUGS)))

You've got a right to have bad mornings too:cwds:

[musicjunkie]

I'm cyber hugging you(((U)))
My neice has CP(cerebral palsy(sp?) and HE(herpe ensechalitis(again,sp?) on the brain and she's 15 years old and doesn't walk or talk,is constantly having seizures in 4 different parts of her brain.My sister has to still change diapers....and feed her through a g tube.Every time I think I have it bad I see her and realize how much worse it could be....be happy that diabetes management has come as far as it has...their isn't a cure yet but modern technology is making big strides in making it more 'easier' to deal with.

(((Hugs))) to you. I hear you, I feel guilty when I am down, thinking it could be worse. But why do we have to be thankful it's not?????

I want every parent who has a child with diabetes to be able to say, yes it's not cancer, yes my child can walk/run but it is diabetes every minute of everyday and it SUCKS!!!!! We have to have the fight in us to HATE this disease , this is what will keep us forging forward (with my biggest hopes of a CURE.) If we just are thankful and accept it as it is then we will lose the battle.

So be angry, curse it and love your sweet child with the fight to keep going.

Try to have a better day. :cwds:

HEAR, HEAR!

Yeah I really don't like when people say "well it's not cancer/whatever". That is kinda dumb, cancer is relatively treatable and curable, yet they have a walk every week( I digress).

Try to take the high numbers in stride, in all honesty, it makes a difference in their future, but it also does not indicate their future, my wife has a lifetime A1c of 6.3 that is 24 years with some 10's and some low < 5.5, but over all a great A1c over 24 years. She has so many eye problems it's just funny sometimes, her sister has a lifetime A1c of around 10, you guessed it no problems. My point? My wife is roughly 50-70% blind over the last 4 years and has gone hiking in the Rockies, swimming in Cabo, received her Masters degree, and just had a perfect baby boy with a 5.2 A1c during pregnancy. Her sister complains all day and thinks her life is harder than anything anyone deals with.

It's all about perspective and how your little one feels about himself and never lets D get in the way.

Sorry if this is a rant.?

I hear you mom, I hear you!!!

[liasmommy2000]

Thanks everyone. I'm doing better now. Part of it was frustration with my husband (long story).

Thanks for understanding.
