I loved this and can hold a note so count me in around that campfire. I'll make flapacks. Hey are great for such a time and I don't like marshmallows!!<br />Thank you, by the way , for your post about your night from hell. I am intending to print it off and let my parents read it as they are still trying to refuse to take juice to the park with them when they try to take my boy out. I've banned them from taking him anywhere until they take it seriously. Your post should sort that out!Jules https://www.blogger.com/profile/01372324417732567461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3255735347955921173.post-15326223767055222022011-05-10T02:53:17.031-04:002011-05-10T02:53:17.031-04:00fabulous post - it is all so true.

I am on a pump and cgm, and I LOVE pink, and I wrote about you and Sweetpea for our differences in the DOC post today, because we are a diverse community, and there are several differences between me and you and other D-Mamas, but at the core, we have many similarities too. I hope that you all continue to do well.Aliza Chanahttp://alizawithdiabetes.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3255735347955921173.post-89512231100297812642011-05-09T23:45:27.816-04:002011-05-09T23:45:27.816-04:00You totally nailed it.

While we are all parents or caretakers...Great post! While we are all parents or caretakers of children with D, or adults with D, there the similarity ends. Metabolic disorder is the easiest way I have found to make others understand; everyone has a unique metabolism. There is a tendency to try to put D in a box, with statements such as "D is more challenging for children at the age of 2 or 3 (a statement I believe in)" but the pubertal/teen years are known to be a time when D is also extraordinarily difficult to control, and I am talking strictly in the physical sense, not emotional. To give parents the false information that it is okay to ease up on management then is entirely incorrect. Perhaps once they are grown, then D does become easier to manage; certainly do hope so. So, no judgment; no admonition or negative advice, just listen and keep an open mind. And never make the mistake of questioning your own judgment, your own observation. You and you alone should know how to care for your child. I think most parents do an awesome job taking care of their children and know best how to advocate for their own child, physically, emotionally and in every other way. And should respect the parent who manages differently, because they do so based on their own personal experience. We can walk together down this road, but no one can walk in your shoes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3255735347955921173.post-8915926842172262011-05-09T13:36:42.780-04:002011-05-09T13:36:42.780-04:00Preach on, Hallie!

We all need to vent at times, but being mean or negative usually isn't helpful to anyone.
