Letter from a mother - "normal life", what makes a life "normal"?

Sherpa41's profile photo   11/14/2013 9:33 a.m.

Diabetes is not an easy disease, it is not enough not to eat sweets;It is much more than that, it is a disease that does not give truce or rest, which keeps you on guard 24 hours a day and 365 days a year, which changes your life completely, that forces you to give up many things,But, above all, it makes you feel different, especially when diabetes affects children.

Curious expression: "normal life", what makes a life "normal"?

The "normal" in my daughter's life with diabetes is to go to bed with a puncture, wake up with another, have to drink asleep or get to eat on many occasions when she is not hungry, just dream, stop playing or studying because she feels lowAnd wait to go back to continue your activity, be aware that your insulin bomb works perfectly and does not take air bubbles, knowledge of nutrition and diabetes more than many doctors and mature faster than I did.

As for events such as excursions or parties, you have to "load" with your mother to control what you eat, the activities you do and put the corresponding insulin and when "mothers are not admitted" deprived of attending, with theconsequent disgust and anger.

Well, this is our life, normal or not, a life with diabetes. - M. del Mar Boza de los Santos.

En 1922 descubrieron la insulina, en 1930 la insulina lenta. ¿Que c*** han hecho desde entonces?

@campanilla, @intrusa, just out of curiosity, have you shared it using the option "Share" of the message?

On the content of the letter ... I am soooaaaan agree that I can only subscribe what has been said, and that being especially burdensome for children, it is not much easier for adults.

@Fer I have shared it now I don't know who in the same Facebook ...
From here I can not because I am on the work PC and the Facebook we have it

Of course, at each stage of life, the inconveniences of this disease change, without being more or less serious ...

The author of this letter was a user in the thread of parents of this forum for a long time, I have not read it here for a long time.At least the country has not put the typical review of every year on this day.

I just shared it.And if it is so imagined that we did not have glucometer or just training when we were small because they had not yet invented, or they were worth a lot of money for our families (at the beginning), or there were no strips or anything for spare parts;In addition to the great ignorance of society that today is still great and therefore the lack of understanding.

GREETING

Only at the informative level, I suggest that you ever try the "Share" option of the forum messages, is an easy way to send a message/thread of the forum to the social network you want (I think they are all!).

I attached screenshot of what appears when clicking on "Share."

Yes, it is Marcita's letter, Noe's mother, whom I have the pleasure of knowing personally because Noe is treated in the same hospital as my daughter.
