Hi Sarita83, it is not an insult to all type I diabetics, for me it is not, it is a well-deserved disability, because it limits you and much, for me an insult, sometimes, are those hyper-optimistic messages (let's see,That we are many diabetics, I had them many years ago, "being diabetic is a blessing, you are going to take care and live much better than anyone"), I do not say neither one thing nor another, nor optimism, nor pessimism (butThe reality is closer to pessimism, laughs apart, that people confuse), simply, realism, and that realism is different for each person.And here I also say that when we put our children (I am also a father) we are totally impartial ... Of course we want the best, that they are happy, that they are independent, that they are healthy, that ... but with our children, we blind ourselves, they are the most handsome even if they have an eye looking at Barcelona and another to Coruña, when they go to the bathIt is laughing so that they see it does not mean that you are suffering from behind and that is much (and that laugh for them, is well put, to encourage them ... but others who know what there is, sincerely, no, to me, to meIt doesn't sneak me, and it's a saying).Prudence, it is what is needed.And I fully share what many parents demand, because they are also in their right, and after each one educates his own with the principles and ways of life that he considers appropriate (demanding, left, religious, atheist ... all very muchdebatable, all, such as optimism or pessimism in diabetes).
That this does not mean that there are people like Oscar Pistorius than without legs, it runs more than any healthWe will do it.Type I diabetes has many limitations in our life, perhaps that your diabets is different from that of others, I do not doubt it, but we should not generalize (neither in one nor another sense).It limits you many things, it does not let you do many others (yes, it does not leave you ... maybe it leaves you, but it may not when you want, or at the time you want.
Returning to the case ... I encourage you to continue fighting.Suggestion ... Have you raised a Dexcom?It is continuous measurement, the child could take advantage of at school and in life outside it, it really is to interpret some alarms and little more (which teachers can also interpret it, moreover, the receiver can have a teacher and does not doIt is missing that of mathematics :), with seeing the values or looking at it when it whistles, you know that everything is fine.
I think that could be a good solution for control, or at least, part of it.In your case it would be more than justified to pay it.
By the way, I have seen you in the newspaper a few weeks ago.
greetings
