Thanks. My grandmother was among the first cohort to survive childhood with type I. I’m thankful for my daughter, and trust that when it is her time, God will take her appropriately. That said, I hope I go first.
I lost a niece to cancer a few years back. It was hard—and I think harder on my Dad. Parents burying children is a tough thing, and one that we aren’t used to in this culture.
Yes, agree. Thank God that hasn’t happened, although it was close for my parents (as they nearly lost a kid, my brother, and a grandchild...but both are good now).
Just as a suggestion, perhaps talk to your doctor to see if insulin doses can be lowered a bit for her, if she stays away from carbs. It should help, as it certainly does with Type 2’s, but I’m sure it won’t end the dependence (nothing will), but using less may make supplies last longer, should they get disrupted in some way.
