Speaking of my Mommy, I need to call her right now. Technically, I was an adult when I was diagnosed but as I quickly learned, you are ALWAYS your mother's baby. She fits this description quite well. Even the middle of the night BG checks when I was too sick or too frazzled to care for myself.<br /><br />Thanks for reminding me how wonderful my Mommy really is. :)Princess LadyBughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00095851323067138991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248101319829846491.post-37133601522175582312012-11-30T18:26:43.260-08:002012-11-30T18:26:43.260-08:00Hi there!

We are Americans living in Australia, so our D journey has been interesting as we travel through the Aussie system. You write beautifully and I had tears in my eyes with this post. Despite my brief tenure as a D Mom, I already can identify with so much of what you have written-- thank you!Juliehttp://www.fivedownunder.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248101319829846491.post-83332243828037202622012-11-30T18:04:05.017-08:002012-11-30T18:04:05.017-08:00Thanks for this encouraging post!

This past year was a huge and difficult adjustment, but we are back to relative peace and stability. It is so encouraging to read about other moms carrying the weight of the world, so to speak.<br />I'm very thankful for the support we've had. Dr. Bruce Buckingham is our endo, and my son is in a study so we got the Medtronic pump right away!
