But we have to let our children know that their feelings are spot on and although we do hate it, we can live through it together and do the best we can and leave the rest up to The Lord.<BR/><BR/>It still can break our hearts though.:) Traciehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01007765987473563241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19128701.post-47085418330769037862009-03-09T20:09:00.000-04:002009-03-09T20:09:00.000-04:00Penny, wow - I am in tears and as a fellow T1 mom,...Penny, wow - I am in tears and as a fellow T1 mom, I relate to everything you are feeling - I'm sending you hugs.

There are restrictions on WHEN they can eat, depending on BS numbers; WHAT they can eat depending on BS numbers; they have to eat sometimes when they don't want to eat. They cannot eat tons of carbs at once without consequences. They can have a small slice of cake, yes; but not a huge hunk with tons of ice cream and candy like other children at birthday parties. Thankfully, I have one nit-picky eater here (whose appetite was much improved with insulin), so have few problems with her. I feel so bad for other parents, though, especially those with children with healthy appetites. I can see how this disease, which requires preoccupation with food, could easily lead into an eating disorder for these kids.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19128701.post-86662541957156787642009-03-09T11:36:00.000-04:002009-03-09T11:36:00.000-04:00Big hugs to you Penny.
