So yesterday when I got off work around 3:30ish I called Mattie...
YEP... she tested her blood at 3:00 like she was supposed too. She was so proud of herself too, and so was I.
Mattie said " it feel so good when you do the right thing" The rest of the night she was very positive and motivated about her diabetes.
The hardest part for us now, is the PUBERTY....
It has hit and is very strange, no real pattern, so it has been hard to pinpoint a starting point to fix. We are just up testing during the night, and lots of tests during the day.
So far so good, she hasn't had any DENIAL issues, I hear a lot of people say that the kids go through that and they go through it hard. Mattie has faced it head on and just keeps her chin up, and strives forward. I hope this continues, I really don't want to fight with her about it.
I wonder how long it lasts?
I have heard puberty can last for up to 4 years!! Not sure though, her next endocrine appt is in January, and we will see then.
The other thing I have been pondering is,
"Do I give her too much responsibility?"
I am not sure if I give her too much or not enough.... If I give her more now, is it going to be a negative effect or a positive effect..... HMMMM

I think that it is up to us parents to teach our kids responsibilty in a positive way and I think you are doing fine .
ReplyDeleteYah Mattie!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm doing puberty too with J. He is 12 and just starting, and I already am not a fan of how it affect his numbers.
BOO puberty!
I am not looking forward to the teen years...for so many reasons!
ReplyDeleteI just launched a new blog called D-Mom Blog, which I hope is a resource to other parents of diabetic children. I hope to develop relationships with more parents.
(I've included you in my blogroll already.)

YAYYYYYY MATTIE & YAYYYYY FOR YOU!
ReplyDeleteThe teen years can be a challenge, as can puberty - which does a number on the blood sugars ! Keep the line of communication open - that really helps!
Looking forward to reading more adventures about You and "Magnificent Maddie!"

Dear friends my name is Louis from Memphis Tennessee and I want to appreciate the good work of herbalist Abiodun in my life by sharing my testimony about the treatments I have been receiving from him for my diabetes, I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in my late twenties and with the cost of my medications it has been really difficult on me and my family both mentally and financially but then I was told about an herbalist who can help me treat or manage this disease with his herbal medicine, I was skeptical at first but I contacted him and we got to talking and I had to give it a try and that was how things began to change for me, now I can eat the type of food I haven't eaten in years I travel without the fear of contacting some disease that might compromise my immune system and my life in general has been really great, now I check my blood sugar maybe once in 2 days and I don't see my doctor as often anymore, so if you're reading this and you or someone you know has diabetes, I will drop his contacts here reach out to him talk to him and decide for your self. what have you got to lose life's too short for this disease to deprive us of the simple pleasures of it.
