I have two young kids, and periodically freak out too. My son was peeing through his diapers recently and I totally panicked. Waited until morning and then tested him. It was a long night for me, but he was fine. I checked my daughter when she was younger too. Now that my daughter is older I have stopped because I don’t want to upset or scare her. I know it will always be in the back of my mind, there is no way around it. Funny, but I did not worry about it when I was pregnant either. For me, it’s the fear that something bad would happen to them because of me…something I passed along. I shutter every time I read a story about families with several diabetic kids , or with one diabetic parent and a diabetic child. I know my parents have suffered watching me go through this,and neither of them even has diabetes.
