Whats the hardest part about living with diabetes...diabetics ONLY or people living

[ml88b]

with a diabetic? I don't remember how it happened, but my English Professor and I got on the subject of my type 1 diabetes. She asked me how many shots I took, and when I took them. I told her usually I take 4-6 shots. Then after a few seconds she asked me "is that hard?" I told her the shots weren't hard to do.

So my question is what is the hardest part about living with diabetes?

Well ... my 2 year old was diagnosed only a few months ago, so it all still seems hard ...

I would guess the hardest thing for her are the shots ... they still make her cry and I have to give her stickers afterwards. And having to eat on a schedule ... and not being able to eat the same thing as other kids her age can. I took her to the McDonalds play-place the other day ... you're not supposed to have food in the play part. But there was a little girl standing next to her eating a sundae And my daughter was staring at her so hard ... (

For me, the hardest part is not knowing about why things happen sometimes. Her sugars go up and down so fast and far and I can't figure out why. And her doctors aren't saying, if they know. I do the same thing for her every day, and I'm always with her.
