I feel like a very, very bad mother when Reagan's blood sugar shoots high. It seems to go sky high for no apparent reason and while she says she cannot tell, it's clear by her behavior that something "ain't right." So on top of it all, we might argue about her attitude or she might stomp off and refuse to address the issue with insulin, water and/or a walk around the block. Forget checking ketones - that seems to be a lost cause.
So, I'll put on my virtual workout gear, get on my mental hamster wheel and start obsessing about how we should all exercise more, eat more vegetables, less carb, do a better job on the tracking charts, on and on. Well, yeah, duh. But most of the time we do pretty well and I just don't know how to do any more. At some point, the more you try to control the harder she pushes back.
Where is the balance between needing to do better for your child and acceptance that you're doing the best you can?
