My child, Kyle, is 11, he was diagnosed 2 years ago (10/4/02). I sill cry at times thinking about why has this happened to this innocent child. He is handling things much better than I am. I am a RN, I see all the complications that go along with diabetes, ofcourse what I see is never pretty. We go in the morning for him to get his pump. He is scared, but he has been asking for it since going to Camp Seale Harris/AL back when he was first diagnosed and seen most of the kids there (95%) had pumps. Just curious do the rest of you Moms with diabetic children have periods of sadness? I wanted to comment too, rarely do we let Kyle stay with anyone, but recently my Mother watched him for about 4-5 hours. I was explaining to her if he eats 40 grams of carbs, he will need 1 unit of Insulin, so I get ready to leave and she says, "OK, if he eats 40 <!--more--> grams of cholesterol, I need to give him 1 unit." hummmm Hello all, I have been reading your post for a few weeks now, I am
