But it's a lot of hard work, too. I tell people that it's the equivalent of having 1 more child when they ask. My dd spent 4 days in a children's hospital and was put on a regimen of 3 types of insulin at 3 different times a day. We checked her sugar 4 times every day. Now she uses an insulin pump, which we change every 3 days, but we check her sugar 7 times a day/night. <br><br><br>Don't despair! You can do this! And your son will learn, too. When his sugars are under control, he's going to feel much healthier. <br><br><br>Feel free to PM me through FIAR.

It will definitely alter his life and effect your whole family. It will be a challenge, but maybe there will be some aspects that you will eventually be able to see as positive. Like this could be an incentive to study and learn about the health benefits of eating natural, non-processed foods: primarily vegatables and protein foods (meat, eggs, beans). <br><br><br>When my dh was put on a strict diet for his health, we all supported him by learning to shop, cook, and eat only what he was allowed to eat. That way, he wasn't tempted to eat food he wasn't supposed to eat nor did he need to feel sorry for himself that he was missing out on all kinds of delights that we were freely indulging in.<br><br><br>Isaiah 41:10 is a good verse for Joshua:<br><br> "Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."<br><br><br>Keep looking UP!<br><br>GOD's BEST!<br><br>AnnaAnnanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757692076937665492.post-69012433903793160492009-06-24T03:48:07.000-04:002009-06-24T03:48:07.000-04:00Leslie, we are so sorry and busy praying for you a...Leslie, we are so sorry and busy praying for you all. I know God doesn't give a burden without giving one the strength to bare it. We have a daughter with breast cancer now. God gave me 1Thess.5:18.
