Dreading tomorrow....What is tomorrow?? The exciting endocrinologist visit for my boys. Every three months we get to go, glad to be able to because it is important and helpful to their health none the less not something I get to excited about. Many of us parents with kids with diabetes don't get to excited about the visit. I am sure this is also true for the diabetics themselves. I heard one mom describe it as going to the principals office when you were a kid. I guess we get a since of failure because we just can't get it 100% right know matter how hard we try. It is very frustrating to not be able have there BG's at a perfect number at all times no matter how well we do things. Yes we CAN take better control but never complete control. Taking better control and accepting that we can't get complete control are both very difficult!! I have two children that have type 1 diabetes that makes for double the difficult. Then add that they are toddler and a teenager well, more difficult. I think another thing about the visit is just like a reminder of the reality of the disease and how it plays a heavy weight roll in our lives. We have are routines and BG checks and insulin shots are just apart of our daily lives. That just the way it is but we really don't put much thought about the disease if we did I think it would make the task much harder because we'd be falling apart while we did the things we needed to do. The visit reminds us of the Disease because that is the only focus. I think it also brings back memories for me when they were first diagnosed and all those feelings. Oh and the Test......the A1C is always like waiting to find out if you passed the test. UGH...Tomorrow I am hoping for better A1C for them both.

Love, love my kid's and have a great desire for us all to learn and grow in such a way that we WILL be able to better manage. This will always be an on going process even for the doctors. With new tech. and new findings about the disease. So much to learn in some many areas...1 step at a time...Will always stay hopeful...
