Things You Don't Say...

to the mom of a diabetic child... I'm sure I'll add more to this in the future but to cover the past 4 weeks.

1. Well, at least its ONLY diabetes.
2. How can you stand giving her shots?
3. Will she out grow it?
4. At least she is young and wont remember much before she was diabetic.
5. Can she eat that?
6. Its from all that processed food.
7. Oh I know all about diabetes. My aunt just found out she has it... may cat is diabetic.. I SAW STEEL MAGNOLIAS!.
8. Is it that bad kind?
9. I need a child free break....
10. I'm so exhausted, I only slept 6 hours last night...
11. So she cant have sweets, bread, pasta, rice, etc?

and the kicker...

12.  Oh you think thats bad? I had.... (insert random stupid irresponsible totally preventable problem here)...happen to me last week. THAT was horrible, Can you believe it?


And just so you know, I'm not bitter, I'm not upset. Diabetes is a fact of life in our house. It has been for the past 33 years for Nathan, for the past 9yrs for me and that will continue. Now we just adapt everything .
