Hi SER37

Welcome to the forum.

No way are you a lazy mum...and if people think that...hey thats there problem...Its extremely hard work to look after and care for diabetic children. Myself personally I do find it hard work at times fitting everything in..so can assure you that is very much Normal.
As mum's we are under constant pressure to keep our children well...please don't be to hard on yourself..I am sure you are a brilliant top mum..like the rest of us on this site..

non working mum

thanks sarah
 
I find it tough enough managing my own life with Type 2 diabetes and I'm fortunate enough to have been able to take early retirement. How some of the parents on here manage with the challenges their diabetic children throw at them is a constant source of amazement to me - you have my admiration
