I have been wondering a lot lately how things would be different without diabetes in our lives. I am so much more of a control freak then I used to be. I hate it.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16834424355110237675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19128701.post-53224611630223476452009-05-01T10:28:00.000-04:002009-05-01T10:28:00.000-04:00Big hugs to you Penny, hang in there.

Elise was soooo excited when she saw all the fun stuff to play on. I decided to check her BG because she had been running low all week. When 409 came up I felt my good mood come crashing down. I then checked for ketones and she had a trace. It was all I could do to keep from crying in front of the other Moms (nobody had a clue what was going on).<br /><br />I hate, hate, HATE that diabetes affects my life and my mood that way, and I get extremely jealous of other Moms that don't have to deal with all the crap that we do. But then I read your previous post over and thank God Elise is here in my arms.<br /><br />It makes me feel crazy sometimes. <br /><br />Sorry for the long comment, just wanted you to know you are not alone.Joannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15030783893373288244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19128701.post-50985026732623282422009-04-30T12:52:00.000-04:002009-04-30T12:52:00.000-04:00Jada's only been diagnosed a year and I can see th...Jada's only been diagnosed a year and I can see the same effects on me. However- it's good to know that in a few years, diabetes won't be the only thing I'm thinking about! :) I worry constantly and have the hardest time leave her in Sunday School at church. I know this has had a huge effect on our marriage as well as my relationship with our other 3 children. Hugs to you Pennyl! I do believe that He uses all things to work together for good and even if you can't see it now- someday you will!Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04842687454353803647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19128701.post-39394490367557212382009-04-30T12:33:00.000-04:002009-04-30T12:33:00.000-04:00Oh My Penny.

I too wonder where I would be if Diabetes hadn't entered our lives. I think I would be alot more optimistic and motivated. Less depressed, with less meltdowns. I shut down easily these days. ((HUGS)) I'm so sorry for all your employment concerns. I will keep your family in my prayers.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17009502794324247532noreply@blogger.com
