Yea, and when BG is 369, a diebetic feels hungry, especially since she had not eaten in a while-no proper diabetic snacks--so I'm sure that was tough for her to be in a restaurant..so of course you felt bad for her, it was not a good situation at all. Not to mention how aweful it feels to be at 369. No wonder the whole thing upset you.
It sounds as if other family members do not quite get the serious implications of diabetes and the regular attention your child's health depends upon now, certainly not the way you do. You need team support rather than to be Chloe's sole cheerleader. I get how alone that probably makes you feel because my non-diabetic family really just doesn't get it at all, but I'm trying to be patient with them and slowly educate them.
But here is the main thought I had when I read your post: Mothers, moms, mothers like you are so wonderful. I was 45 when I got D, I had just lost my wonderful mother. Even though I was 45 all I wanted was my mom! Fortunately, all the loving care, words of wisdom, and the example she set, help me deal with this stupid D every day. Chloe is so lucky to have a mom like you! You are her number one guardian angel. And when she becomes a young woman, and she takes more control over her diabetes, and its not so much on you as now she is just a child, it won't matter...because you'll always be the most special wonderful person in her life. You're a great mom!
