The more I learn about this disease of diabetes, the more amazed I am how it affects every single bit of our bodies.
It makes sense since excess sugar is in our blood which travels to every inch of our bodies. Blood carries nutrients in and wastes out of every system we have.
My dentist had told me that gum disease was very common in persons with diabetes, but I didn't realize how symbiotic the relationship was. (READ MORE)

We all know that diabetics have an increased risk of everything from heart disease to kidney disease to glaucoma. Because of this increased risk, it is very important for diabetics to have regular checkups in many fields. Personally, I am always scheduling appointments for one thing or another.

As people with diabetes, we are told time and again to make sure we schedule regular oral care visits, as diabetes makes us both more susceptible to oral disease (cavities, periodontal issues, etc.) and makes it more difficult for us to recover from the procedures needed to treat that disease. "Why," you may then ask, "have you never sought out dental care as an adult, even when preventative care was made available to you, free of charge?"

Charlie has been continuously high for at least a full week. It feels like a month. Same thing every day. High 200s to mid-300s during the day and throughout the night. No matter how many site changes and how many basal increases and how many times we get up in the middle of the night with heavy eyelids, he remains as high as a kite and I'm just trying to hold on. To my sanity, that is.
I have learned to cope with the occasional high blood sugars that are part and parcel of diabetes. I don't even punish Charlie anymore or tell him he can come out of his room once he's done being high.
But consecutive days of high? Hours and hours of highs? I don't do well with it. I have no doubt that parenting a child with diabetes has had a big affect on me psychologically. It's been more than a seven-year war so far and yes, it's messing me up for sure.
