Yaaay! - Kate

So I came home early from School last Tuesday in the WORST mood ever. I had glorious blood sugar of HI, ketones on the build, an angry mom (because of the sugars) and feeling generally crap. I was sitting at the table starving, but wouldn't allow myself to eat because I didnt wanna make myself feel worse. So I watched my Mom eat her lunch lol. The whole time she was sitting there i just ranted and ranted about how nobody really understands what it's like to have type 1 diabetes, unless they have it themselves, and that we can say that we're dealing all that we want, but most of us really need someone to talk to that knows and understands what we're going through to even begin to try to deal with this STUPID disease.
Then, working myself into more of a rage, (while mom just stares at me nodding her head) i say: "When I go back to clinic on Wednesday im MAKING my nurse set up a support group for teenagers with type 1". Mom finally says something when i stop midst-rant to take a breath - "Why don't you call her now while it's uh, fresh, in your head?!" Me: "YEAH! Im gonna call her!"..Mom will you call her for me?"
So anyway, Mom called my nurse and we're having a get together at my house on the 6th of February, for all the teenagers in my clinic with type 1 and their parents =]. Their parents can talk amongst themselves in a seperate room while we'll be somwhere else discussing what we want out of our meetings, how often we want to meet etc. We don't even have to talk about diabetes, but just all of us hanging out and knowing that everybody has the same thing, is comforting.
I cant wait! I've been talking about doing this for a looooong time and im so happy it's done now, cos we do need more support. Im happy =].
How am I doing blood sugar - wise? You don't want to know. We'll leave it that. =]
