Love Letter to the Husband of a Chronically Ill Woman

​"We were in our mid-20s, stressed out from wedding planning, buying our first house and starting our first “real” jobs. We just wanted our lives to be normal and boring. Even though the vows we took eight years ago included “in sickness and in health,” we thought the “in sickness” part was way ahead of us."

Taking Back Date Night and Sleepovers:
​Help for Diabetes Caregivers

"Counting carbs at every meal, figuring out how much insulin to dose and having to regularly stick my son with needles are as normal for me as waking up and brewing the coffee or brushing my teeth before I go to sleep. I don’t even remember what life was like before tracking Miles’ blood sugar moment by moment. So, when my husband suggests we go out for date night, or a friend invites Miles to a sleepover, it’s not easy to trust another adult to keep him safe. Expecting someone else to take on diabetes management while you’re away is so stressful that most parents of kids with diabetes avoid it at all costs."
