Trying to stick a needle into a very resistant, panicked, crying child can make you feel like the most terrible person in the world. Right now I wonder how in the world we don't have a better system for managing this disease. I keep hoping that perhaps in the morning ~ we won't be diabetic anymore. I have ups and downs in the diabetic day ~ she took the lunch dose so well at school but the back up of dinner testing, dinner sticks, bedtime testing and sticks tends to put us into the panic mode. I'm grateful for the last stick of the day and the rest that Lindsey peacefully is having right now.

No pity party ~ just a reality of what we are seeing daily...
