It&#...You make a very good point about self-care. <br /><br />It's interesting, you described the nagging fear that you have for your daughter in a very similar way to the nagging fear my husband expressed to me when I asked how my diabetes impacts him. Caring for someone with diabetes takes a huge mental toll.Rachelhttp://probablyrachel.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7762567302898984061.post-36428082688254072482016-05-18T01:31:01.162-04:002016-05-18T01:31:01.162-04:00I'm an awe of d-parents.

Although I am a young adult, it took a conversation with my Mum to fully appreciate that concern, and that it doesn't go away even as we get older/more independent.

I have written about this from time to time as well... it is one of the biggest areas where I know our lives differ dramatically from those of our friends and neighbors. And, it's hard not to worry about being judged for talking about it (she's so obsessed! or, how can she leave her child in someone else's care?).
