Diabetes anyone? - Page 3

Thank you all. She is feeling much better today but the reality that this is going to be her everyday normal is setting in and she's not that trilled.

They've piled on the information. We've got books and pamphlets galore. At some point when we get to breathe we can actually read them.

She's had a few visitors and she's got flowers, ballons and stuffed animals.

Once we get this all down we'll be ok but it's a lot to take in at once.

Thank you all again!!!

Yes, as a matter of fact. The wonderfulness of today brought that great news as well.

Nothing near as drastic as Madz has ... but 10 to 1, I'll be more of a baby about it.

katiesue: Just so long as she remembers that going through what she needs to go through is far preferable to the results of not doing so

Thank you Morrigoon - I need to remind myself of that from time to time. I'm overdue for an appointment with the Eye Specialist and the foot doctor.

She think's she's an expert know I'm sure she can show you the ropes.

I'm glad she's taking it well. It does seem like a lot to learn at once but I'm sure you'll both get the hang of it. It sounds like there's a few experts here to lend a hand too.

It runs in my fathers family, so it's always a concern for us too.

I was in the pharmacy last night and was marveling at all of the new hi-tech testing gizmos. Some of those toys look pretty darned neat.

katiesue · 08-07-2009, 09:37 AM

Yes - she's gunning for a pink blood test thingie.

Hugs and well wishes for both of you. And kudos for paying enough attention to notice this and follow up quickly. She's very lucky to have a mom like you.

Now when she watches TV it will be like Wilford Brimley is talking directly to her! Teach her to say diabetes like he does.
