Mothers Day

Happy Mothers Day!!! To be a mother, it takes a strong, wonderful person, but to be a mother of a person with diabetes takes an even stronger, more wonderful person. Not many moms can do what a mom of a child with diabetes can do. They watch us give ourselves shots, or give them to us when we're younger, help us with site changes, and they stay strong for us, even though it kills them inside to watch us go through life with diabetes. They stay up with us when we're low at night, make sure we drink lots of water when we're high, get up in the middle of the night when we're young to test our blood sugars, and drive us to our endo appointments. I don't know what I would do without the help from my mom. She has helped me greatly in dealing with diabetes over the last two and a half years, and for that, I can never thank her enough. This disease has made me realize many things, many important things. One of those things is how much I appreciate my mom. I have realized that she is not only my mom, but my best friend. Thank you mom, and thank you to all the moms, especially the moms of a child with diabetes.
