well
its shocking how quickly things can change in an instant...
wednesday my niece was diagnosed with diabetes type 1 meaning she has to have 4 insulin shots daily along with 4 finger pricks to test her blood sugar. i dont know, but i just feel like its not fair for her to have to go through something like this and ive been trying so hard to educate myself on everything the endocrinologists gave us but its so difficult; carb counting, adding extra doses when the sugar is too high, testing for acid in the blood (ketones), hypoglycemia, hyperglycemia, how to inject, how to test the glucose plus along with the emotional aspect. events like this always put things in perspective. you always know something is going to come along in life and change it for the negative but you never expect it. you just dont. i dont even know what to do anymore because unless we do the job properly, something horrible could occur. and so far the insulin isnt even stabilizing her, people aren't following the instructions and i feel that unless i myself do everything, then it just won't be carried out right and thats impossible for me to do. i wish i could though, i wish i could make everything better the way it once was.
