Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there with diabetes. Raising kids and managing diabetes is a lot to take on. Happy Mother’s Day, also, to moms who are raising or have raised kids with diabetes.
It turns out that my mother is not a fan of anything having to do with blood, needles, etc. Yet I never knew this until 35 years after I was diagnosed. My mom never let me think that diabetes would limit me in any way. She always encouraged me to take care of myself. To this day she doesn’t make diabetes a big deal.
Happy Mother’s Day, also, to those who are taking care of or took care of their mom with diabetes. And a special shout out to anyone who happens to have diabetes, have kids with diabetes, and have a birthday on Mother’s Day.
Enjoy your day, moms!
