I make my husband check...You're not alone here. I make my husband check on me every morning before he leaves for work (at 5 am!). He usually will just lean over and gently kiss me awake to say goodbye and tell me he loves me, but I know that's his way of checking on me to make sure I'm alive and with it. :)Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09374059444304481999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7655476866591487074.post-73309578429312619032011-05-15T22:31:10.763-05:002011-05-15T22:31:10.763-05:00I know what you mean about having your "secur...I know what you mean about having your "security blankets". I have two children with a rare type of diabetes called Neonatal Diabetes. While I do still have to check blood sugars, it's not near as complicated as T1 because they take pills instead of insulin. <br /><br />I have only had to administer glucagon to my son once in his life when he was 6 months old (2 months after dx) and that was when he was still on insulin (the doctors thought he was T1 in the beginning). Even so, I still keep glucagon, "just in case". I even pulled it out of the cabinet just a couple of months ago when he had a very rare, extreme low and I couldn't seem to get him up with sugar. Luckily I ended up not needing it, but I will forever keep it because you just never know.<br /><br />I hope you never have to use your security blanket again, but it's always good to be prepared. Kudos to you for your long life with D :)<br /><br />Christy of My 2 Sweet Babies<br />http://www.babieswithdiabetes.comChristyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13816124492935995113noreply@blogger.com
