How dare you assume when my son’s blood sugars are higher than expected that it is something I am not doing.<\/p>\n
How dare you assume when my son’s blood sugars are higher than expected that it is because I am not giving insulin.<\/p>\n
How dare you assume when my son’s blood sugars are higher than expected that it is because I am not trying my absolute hardest.<\/p>\n
Rest assured, how to keep my son’s blood sugars in check is on my mind 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. When I eat. When I sleep (or don’t sleep). When I am watching my kids boogie board. When I am food shopping. When I am watching TV. When I am on Facebook. When I am roller skating. When I am reading. When I am in the bathroom. When I am walking our dog. When I am getting the mail. When I am applying for jobs. When I am booking our vacation. When I am helping my husband in the yard. When I am putting my daughter’s earrings. When I am navigating the subway. When I am catching a cab. When I am getting dressed. When I am brushing my teeth. When I am getting a haircut. When I am working. Twenty-four seven.<\/p>\n
Next time, before you assume it is me not doing my job as a pancreas, consider the following: puberty, hormones, stress, weather, illness, exercise, incorrect carb count on food, bad insulin, or bad insulin site as the possible cause.<\/p>\n
Consider this too…I would kill for my son. It breaks my heart into 10,000 pieces every time he has a high blood sugar that I cannot figure out the cause. Until my dying breath, I will continue to work on my son’s numbers. I will never stop trying to figure out how to get his numbers as close to range as possible.<\/p>\n
How dare you assume that I am doing anything less than everything I could possibly do.<\/p>\n
